New details emerge in death of Murray State University employee

Arraignment was held Thursday in Henry County, TN for the two men accused in the death of a Murray State University employee.

KFVS-TV reported court documents revealed more details surrounding the death of 49-year-old Angela Claxton.  Arrest warrants indicated Claxton's husband, 50-year-old Kenneth Claxton is accused of promising to pay 21-year-old Travis Ryan Jr. to kill his wife.  

Both men are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and Ryan also faces a murder charge.  Arrest warrants also indicated Ryan admitted to stabbing Angela Claxton more than 20 times.

The documents also revealed Kenneth Claxton promised to pay Ryan $80,000 from the victim's life insurance policy.
