KENNETT, Mo. (AP) — A southeast Missouri man accused of fatally shooting his wife is free on $1 million bond.

Dunklin County authorities tell the (Kennett) Daily Dunklin Democrat that 52-year-old Allan Branum of Kennett no longer is in custody.

Branum is charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the wounding of wife Regena Branum during a dispute at their home in May of last year. She died the next day at a Tennessee hospital.

A message left Tuesday with Branum’s attorney, Andrew Bullard, was not immediately returned.

Online court records show that Branum is scheduled for a hearing Wednesday.
