Ingolf Tuerk, 58, of Dover, was in court on Wednesday, July 29, to face a charge of murder connected with the death of his wife, Kathleen McLean, 45, in May.

McLean’s remains were discovered on *May 16 by police.

Trouble between the couple became public in March when McLean called the Dover-Sherborn Press to talk about her fear of Tuerk and how the system was not doing enough about her protection, the MetroWest Daily News reported. In February, Tuerk was arraigned in Dedham District Court on a charge of violating a restraining order. He said he was not guilty. And the pre-trial conference was postponed.

Tuerk was a medical doctor who practiced urology at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Brighton.

*Correction: The article previously misstated the date on which police found McLean.
