WEST CHESTER, Pa.—A man accused of murdering his daughter's mother then dumping her body on a southeastern Pennsylvania farm is expected to testify in his own defense.
Mauricio Jose Bedolla-Camacho is charged in the April 2008 strangling of Daicy Vasquez-Bedolla. The couple had a 3-year-old daughter together at the time Vasquez-Bedolla was killed.
The Daily Local News reports Bedolla-Camacho's attorneys concede their client strangled the victim but say he was provoked.
Bedolla-Camacho was arrested by border patrol agents in Louisiana a few days after the killing. Authorities say he eventually admitted to the killing but gave at least two different reasons to troopers who questioned him.
Prosecutors could finish presenting their case on Monday.
