FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): The wife of a Fort Wayne man who was found dead in his home last November has been arrested and charged with his murder.

Fort Wayne Police were called to the 3600 block of Turf Lane near Aboite Center Road at just after 1 p.m. on Nov. 8. Officers found a man dead inside.
Court documents say Susan told detectives that Kenneth went to bed around 7 p.m. the night before. The couple slept in separate beds, and Susan told police that when she went to wake him up, she found him dead with a gunshot wound. Detectives say Susan told them that she didn’t murder her husband or hire someone to kill him and was very calm during the interview.
Detectives also found a large bruise on her upper arm, consistent with shooting a shotgun. Witnesses also told police that the couple did not have a good relationship.

Loose lips sink ships, GrandMa!
tsk tsk tsk
One can tell she has been watching Wheel of Fortune, as opposed to any of the CSI series.
She seemed a little ill-prepared, is all i’m suggesting.
I’m a little at odds, here, though.
Even when police found her story suspicious.., was it still compelling enough that it took nearly 6 months to charge her??
I’d have to admit, My GrandMa could be awfully distracting when she knew i was coming over to mow, and she just so happened to be pulling out some freshly baked cookies when i finished the yard.
If the Police arrived, in that similar setting… i’m surprises it didn’t take longer!
…heck, wouldn’t surprise me if they washed her windows too!
