Bloomington Murder Suspect Accused Of Child Abuse As Well

Prosecutors say the Bloomington man charged with killing his wife is also facing charges for allegedly abusing a child.  The McLean County States' Attorney's Office says Monroe Elbert is due before a judge today to answer for the stabbing death of his wife earlier this week.  Elbert is also facing charges from an October case where investigators say he broke the leg of a child in his home.  Police are blaming the murder on domestic violence, but are not saying what led to the stabbing.
