Man Planned Murder-Suicide to Save Wife from Widowhood

An elderly Florida man is facing serious charges after allegedly trying to kill his wife so she would not be alone after he committed suicide.

On October 26, a 93-year-old man and his wife of 60 years were at their home in Ocala. It was reported that he suffers from chronic debilitating pain, and on that day like many other occasions, he mentioned to his wife that he wanted to end his life. He became concerned that if he followed through, he would be leaving her by herself. He reportedly retrieved a rope and snuck up behind her while she was watching television. Before she realized what was happening, the man allegedly put it around her neck and began choking her with it, but she was able to break free and call the authorities for help.

Deputies with the Marion County Sheriff’s Office went to the address to investigate, and the woman was outside when they arrived. She explained what happened, and the deputies took note of the marks on her throat. Her husband was in the house, and when he talked to the deputies, he reportedly told them he was going to use the rope to kill his wife before using it to kill himself.
