Jury selection is underway in the trial for an Onondaga County man accused of killing his wife nearly a year ago.

Pete Trifunovski is facing a second-degree murder charge in connection with his wife's disappearance and death last January. According to police, he admitted to beating Suzie Trifunovski to death after an argument. He then allegedly hid her body in a storage facility on Van Buren Road in Lysander.

Suzie was reported missing by co-workers after she did not show up to work. The couple had been married for about 25 years.

Trifunovski had been working on a plea deal with prosecutors, but the two sides were never able to come to an agreement.
