A man in prison on charges of murdering his wife won a Boone County, Ind., town board primary election Thursday.

Farmer Andrew Wilhoite, who is accused of murdering his wife Nikki before dumping her dead body in a nearby creek, won 21.74 percent of the vote for Clinton Township Board representative, becoming one of three winners in the Republican primary.

Police told WXIN News that Nikki Wilhoite’s body was retrieved from the creek early Saturday morning and that Andrew Wilhoite is accused of hitting his wife over the head with a blunt object before throwing her in the body of water.

Nikki Wilhoite had just finished chemotherapy treatments for her cancer, according to Andrew’s social media accounts.

Nikki filed for divorce weeks before the incident in March.
