We now know that 20 year old Brittney Chua was pregnant when her body was found in a Huron dumping site this past weekend. Authorities say 42 year old Shannon Flowers is responsible for her death. Police the two were having an intimate affair and that both were married at the time.

Brittney Chua was four to five months pregnant when she was found dead Saturday. Authorities say Shannon Flowers hit her in the head with a pipe continuously and then covered her with branches and debris. A friend of Flowers tipped off the police Beadle County State's Attorney Michael Moore says, "They immediately put survelliance on Mr. Flowers and followed him. He went to work at Earl's Alignment that morning and they were watching him the entire time."

Investigators say then Flowers climbed on a ladder, put a rope around his neck and said he was going to commit suicide. Detectives talked him out of it and Flowers was arrested without incident. Moore says, "He talked to the Huron Police detective via phone and stated that he had killed Chua. Shannon Flowers also told the detective that it was premeditated."

Flowers heads to court tomorrow. Chua's death is the second murder in Huron in the past week. Huron resident Sarah Klich says, "It's quite disturbing for the size of our town. We don't see that many heinous crimes." People living in Huron hope they don't have any more and are glad police are catching the people they believe are responsible. Authorities do not know whether the baby belonged to Flowers. They are waiting for tests to return from a forensics lab.
