A man from rural Missouri is charged with kidnapping and murdering his ex-girlfriend, per Fox 2 Now. He allegedly made her watch as he dug her grave. 

The incident took place on June 20 in a wooded area on Haven of Rest Road. Authorities say that 36-year-old Tony L. Charboneau attacked his ex, Amy Hogue, during a fight, hitting and kicking her. After the attack, Charboneau and his current girlfriend, Brandi L. Luffy, placed Hogue in a manual wheelchair and tied her up with straps. 

They gathered shovels, tarps, a pickaxe, and a gun, putting them in the back of Charboneau’s vehicle. They then lifted Hogue, still in the wheelchair, into the vehicle. Charboneau drove to a wooded area near his home, where he and Luffy took Hogue out of the vehicle and brought her to a hill in the woods.

Charboneau used a shovel and pickaxe to dig a shallow grave, according to the authorities. He then took Hogue out of the wheelchair and shot her in the head. Hogue was 43 years old.
