(The AEGIS Alliance) – A Florida woman is facing a murder charge after stabbing her husband more than 140 times to death in their home’s kitchen area.
62-year-old victim Melvin Weller was discovered by his age 41 stepson lying dead in a pool of blood at his house in Palm Springs on February 11, WPTV reports citing a police report.
The stepson phoned authorities that later on located a number of bloody knives as well as a blood-covered meat cleaver inside the kitchen sink.
Melvin Weller’s wife, 61-year-old Joan Burke was found in her bed and remained silent without saying a word when the cops arrived at the scene.
She was hospitalized, then later on arrested and imprisoned after an investigation into the fatal stabbing.
An autopsy figured out that Weller was actually stabbed more than 140 times. He additionally endured a skull bone fracture after getting mauled in his head with a meat cleaver.
Joan Burke is jailed and facing a first-degree murder charge with no bond.
