(KNZA)--Testimony has begun in the trial for a Holton man accused of killing his wife in 2015

That came Monday after a jury was seated to hear the case against George Fleshman.

Fleshman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 62-year-old wife, Elizabeth, at the couple's residence in October 2015.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says an autopsy showed she died due to trauma to the spleen.

Fleshman was arrested in March of 2016 following an investigation by the Sheriff's Department.

The trial, which had previously been postponed twice, is scheduled to last through Friday in Jackson County District Court.
