Beaten Woman Dies
KENTUCKY...
Police in Lexington say a woman found badly beaten in some bushes behind her apartment building has died. The victim has been identified as 44-year-old Umi Southworth. A police spokeswoman says the department is investigating the death as a homicide. No suspects have been identified. Investigators have interviewed the victim's husband, Don Southworth, and did not detain him. Police went to check on Umi Southworth after co-workers said she failed to come to work on Wednesday. Officers found her in the bushes, beaten so badly that they first called the coroner's office. Authorities say the couple's 12-year-old daughter is safe, but declined to say where she is staying.
