Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey and Capt. Scott Cartmell of the Piscataway Police Department said that a township man was arrested today and charged with the murder of a 31-year-old woman who was found dead outside his home, the victim of apparent head injuries.
Christopher Koller, 39, was charged with the murder of Beth Bezek, 31, of Raritan after she was found early this morning.
Koller remains in custody in lieu of $1 million bail.
He was charged during an investigation by Detective Joseph Reilly of the Piscataway Police Department and Detective David Abromaitis of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office.
During the investigation, it was determined that Ms. Bezek was visiting Koller at his home when she sustained what appears to be blunt force trauma to the head.
Police were called to the defendant’s home and found the woman laying outside the home on Pond Lane at 1:04 a.m. She was pronounced dead at the scene at 1:33 a.m.
The results of an autopsy by the Middlesex County Medical Examiner’s Office were not immediately available, but it appeared the victim suffered severe injury to her head.
The investigation is active and is continuing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Reilly of the Piscataway Police Department at (732) 562-1100, or Detective Abromaitis of the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office at (732) 745-3300.
