A Monroe Township man is accused of using a large potted plant to beat a woman he was dating to death inside of a long-term care facility, authorities said in court records.
Deymis Jimenez, 32, is accusing of beating a woman to death inside the Meadow View Care Center in Monroe around midnight on Monday, records show. He has since been charged with murder.
The 47-year-old woman is identified in court records only as D.F. A spokesman for the prosecutor’s office declined to provide her name. It’s not clear what her relationship to the center is, but court records filed in support of the murder charge say the two had been dating since last March.
