CHICAGO, IL – Darron Brewer is on trial for allegedly killing his wife, Kenyatae Coller-Brewer, over her insurance money.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors claim Brewer had fallen out of love with her because he is gay.<\/p>\n
Cook County Assistant State Attorney Jeff Allen said in court on Monday that back in October 2009, the two siblings had first concocted a scheme to strangle Kenyatae<\/strong>. Powe<\/strong>, was supposed to surprise his sister-in-law at her home, then choke her to death. When he saw the victim come out of the bathroom, Powe<\/strong> had a change of heart and instead had consensual sex with her, according to Allen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Allen then stated that Kenyatae <\/strong>allegedly cried \u201crape\u201d to her husband with regards to her tryst with her brother-in-law. After the young mom allegedly tried to accuse Powe <\/strong>of forcibly assaulting her, the two brothers then plotted a fake carjacking which would end with her being murdered.<\/p>\n On the evening of the alleged murder plot, Kenyatae<\/strong> picked up her husband and two children on Chicago\u2019s South Side when she got off work. Brewer allegedly took a detour, stopping at a gas station where Powe<\/strong> had been waiting and wearing a mask from the thriller, \u201cScream.\u201d The masked Powe<\/strong> then allegedly sprung up and forced the unsuspecting Kenyatae<\/strong> into the trunk of the car at gunpoint, where he wound up fatally shooting her twice in the head.<\/p>\n Police investigators discovered the murder weapon at Powe\u2019s<\/strong> girlfriend\u2019s home tucked away between a pile of mattresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CHICAGO, IL – Darron Brewer is on trial for allegedly killing his wife, Kenyatae Coller-Brewer, over her insurance money.
