JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - A witness testifying in the case of a Jamestown man accused of killing a Somali immigrant says the woman allegedly tried to dispose the body in his well.

Thirty-four-year-old Leron Howard is charged with murder and criminal conspiracy in the death of 18-year-old Abdi Ali Ahmed.

His body was found in a ditch near Spiritwood on April 30th, 2011.

Authorities say he was beaten and stabbed.

Delmonte Jones testified Thursday that Howard and 22-year-old Janelle Cave came to his home early in the morning of April 30th, 2011.

Jones says the two asked about Jones' well, saying they had a body to dispose of.

A jury earlier convicted Cave on manslaughter and criminal conspiracy charges.

She is serving an 11-year sentence.
