News Brief: Friends erect gazebo for Rafael Robb's wife

Friends and neighbors of Ellen Robb have installed a garden gazebo in her honor outside of Roberts Elementary School in Wayne, Pa.

Robb, who was found bludgeoned to death in her Wayne home last December, was an active volunteer at the school, and had a daughter who attended the school as well.

Robb was 49 years old when she died.

Her estranged husband, former Penn professor Rafael Robb, is accused of murdering her.

He is scheduled to stand trial in November.

The 1,000-pound gazebo, which was installed June 2 by over 20 friends and school faculty members, will be officially dedicated this fall.

A group named Friends of Ellen raised around $6,000 through the Ellen Gregory Robb Memorial Fund to purchase the gazebo.
