A housekeeper in Brevard County, Fla., had household chemicals, including bleach, poured down her throat, was strangled and then buried in a shallow grave over some missing money, according to authorities.

Titusville police received information Friday that a body was buried in an unmarked grave somewhere off state Road 46.

When investigators began questioning people, they learned that Wenda Wright, (pictured, left) who was a housekeeper for Margaret Allen at 415 South Robbins Avenue had allegedly been killed in the house and transported to some nearby woods.

"Chemicals were poured into her mouth, duct tape was placed over her mouth, so this was not a fast death. It was a torturous death unfortunately," Titusville police spokesman Warren Van Buren said.

Police: Household Chemicals Poured Down Mom's Throat

Allen, 39, (pictured, right) reportedly told investigators that she killed Wright because she thought Wright had stolen her purse containing $2,000. When Wright would not admit to taking the purse, Allen reportedly became enraged and started beating Wright.

Police said Allen's son, Quintin, 19, helped hold the woman down as Margaret Allen allegedly poured chemicals down her throat. Margaret Allen and son then allegedly strangled her with a belt, according to the report.

After questioning Quintin Allen, he reportedly revealed to police the approximate location of Wright's body.

James Martin, 50, was also arrested and charged with accessory after the fact. It is believed that Martin helped bring Wright's body out to a remote area.

All three were arrested and transported to the Brevard County Jail.

Margaret Allen and Quintin Allen are both charged with first-degree murder and false imprisonment.
