FRESNO, Calif.—Prosecutors say they haven't decided yet if they'll seek the death penalty for a Visalia couple accused of killing the woman's ex-husband and then torching the body.
Twenty-seven-year-old Miguel Angel Encisco and 20-year-old Flora Mayra Perez are being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder earlier this week in the killing of 26-year-old Figueroa Dominguez.
Dominguez's burned body was found in an orchard in the rural Fresno County community of Orange Cove on June 29.
Encisco and Perez were arrested after detectives traced a gas can found at the scene to a purchase the couple made at a Walmart.
Because Encisco and Perez were also charged with the special circumstances of murder by lying in wait and murder committed in a burglary, they're eligible for the death penalty.

(NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
