American woman accused of killing her husband while in the Christian mission in Angola

A woman from Minnesota was accused of killing her husband in the nation of South Africa last year, while the couple and their five children were there on a Christian missionary journey, their church confirmed.

Beau Shroyer, 44, from Detroit Lakes, was found dead in a vehicle in Thienjo, a city in southern Angola in October. His wife, Jackie Shroyer, was arrested on death in November and is accused of forming a crime plot for rent.

The Church of the Family, the Church of Friday in the Lacui area, confirmed on Monday that she has now been accused of “co -author” in killing her husband.

“It is immensely sad that I have to share that we have been announced that Jackie has been officially accused as a co-author in the killing of her husband,” said the main pastor Troy M. Eason in a statement on the church’s website.

In a previous statement after her arrest, Easton said: “I am so sorry and I simply have no words to express my unbelief and sadness for this news.”

Shroyer will remain in arrest in Angola and will be scheduled to face trial in the next six months, according to a US SIM statement, the organization that arranged the mission in Angola.

Sim US said in November that Shroyer was represented by an Angolan lawyer and two American lawyers. Both FBI and the State Department were case aware, SIM said.

Bernadino Isaac Elisa, 24 years old, who worked as a couple security guard, was also called a suspect and arrested in November, together with Isalino Musselenga Kayoo, 23, also known as ” Vin Diesel “, about which the police said he was” Mastermind “behind the killing.

A fourth suspect, Gelson Guerreiro Ramos, 22, was on the run, reported the Angolan press agency,

The children of the couple, who are between 9 and 17 years old, are again in the US and are cared for by SIMA and the Lakes Vineyard church.

In November, the Angolan Criminal Investigation Service said the Angolan press agency That Shroyer was suspected of being behind the crime and that a $ 50,000 payment was promised to complications for the crime.

Manually Halaiwa, the spokesman for the Investigation Service, told the agency that there are “strong suspicions of a romantic relationship between the person who ordered the crime and his accomplices, the guard at the couple’s residence.”

He also told the Agency that the police are investigating Jackie Shroyer who does not want to leave Angola at the end of her husband’s mission as a possible reason. A US -brought knife was found on the spot and was used in crime, said Halaiwa, along with 2.5 million Kwanzas (equivalent to about $ 5,000).

Beau Shroyer’s body was found on October 25 in Thienjo among his goods, with his wife “destroyed” and on the spot, the police said. Investigators have released an image of a blood -stained car to the Angolan press agency.

NBC News contacted the Criminal Investigation Service, but did not receive an answer until the time of publication.

Beau Shroyer worked as a student resource officer for the Detroit Lake Police Department, which caused the students to call him “cute officer”, according to a obituary shared by a local funeral.

“He was hired to find ways in which he, along with his family, could serve the Lord by offering love, inspiration and kindness, as well as the needs of the life of children and families in Africa,” said the obituary.

Jackie Shroyer has posted at large about family life in Angola on her Instagram account, including the most recent four days before the alleged crime.
