A 51-year-old Lamar County woman has been arrested in connection to the death of her husband.

County Deputy Coroner Philip Carlan says 44-year-old James Daniel Kendrick suffered “massive internal injuries due to gunshot wounds” resulting in his death Saturday.

Carlan said Kendrick’s body was transported to Jackson for an autopsy.

Deputies say Kendrick’s wife, Beverly Kaye Kendrick, was arrested and charged with murder.

She is expected to make her first appearance Tuesday in Lamar County Justice Court.
