West Valley police are looking for two more people as they continue to investigate a deadly beating.

Three people are already in jail, now police are looking for one of the suspects' wife and another person as they try to put together the pieces behind the death of 32-year old Jay Wolfinjer.

Wolfinjer was taken from his West Jordan Apartment early Thursday. "There was evidence that he was assaulted there, that he was brought to the West Valley address, evidence that he was further assaulted there," said Capt. Tom McLachlan, spokesman for the West Valley Police Department.

McLachlan says it appears Wolfinjer died of blunt force trauma to the head.

Police are now looking for 29-year-old Kimoana Fonua and a 32-year-old Makasini Lomu. They will only say they believe the two were also involved.
