ELLWOOD CITY — A woman and her adult son have been ordered to stand trial on charges they fatally beat the woman’s husband behind a grocery store.

State police testified Wednesday that 40-year-old Lisa Jones-Orock and her 22-year-old son, Zachary Jones, plotted to lure 57-year-old Gerald Lee Orock Jr. to the market in Ellwood City the night of Dec. 7.

Police say both suspects gave statements, though Jones-Orock tried to deny her son was involved. But police say Zachary Jones told them he beat and kicked Orock until he was bloody and motionless, then posted on Facebook that Orock beat his mother “more times than she deserved.”

Police in March had charged Jones-Orock with trying to slice Orock’s genitals with a box cutter, but dropped the charges. Police say the couple had a history of domestic disputes.
