San Antonio (AP) – The husband of a woman whose charred remains were found outside San Antonio this week was charged with murder Friday.
Prosecutors said that it was unlikely that the charge against Richard McFarland would be upgraded to capital murder despite the gruesomeness of Susan McFarland’s death.
‘This was in fact a murder,’ said Michael Bernard, Bexar County’s top assistant prosecutor. ‘We don’t have the evidence to indicate that it was a capital murder.
McFarland, 45, of suburban Terrell Hills was arraigned late Friday afternoon at the Bexar County Jail. His bond for the murder count was set at $500,000.
He was already in custody in lieu of a $450,000 bond on a variety of lesser charges linked to his wife’s disappearance in late November. Texnews online article T A Badger 18th January 2003
