90-year-old man butchers 85-year-old wife

Brenda Hooker lives just down the street from the Martin house, and has known the couple for about 10 years. Hooker could not believe the news and said Jeanette Martin “was just a sweet lady” and recalled William “Bill” Martin was an “awfully gentle person” who walked down the street to visit Hooker's father in her home before he died.

It's really disturbing when someone who seems okay would do something like this. Can you imagine being married for that long and killing someone like that after spending most of your life together.

I'll wait for the jokes about marriage to come in now.

It sounds like the grandson was there -- I wonder if he got there after it happened. One would hope that a 46-year-old man would be able to stop a 90-year-old man from carving up his grandmother.

Unless I missed it, I don't see where it mentions how long they have been together. If the were together for the last 50 years or so, I could see a case where he never laid a hand on her or argued much until one day 50 years of bottling up any frustration came out in one horrific way.

You're right, I don't think they mentioned it. I just assumed that they had been together a while.

It said their 46 year old grandson.

Not saying that they couldn't have only been together for a short time, and they both considered him a grandson.

That is kind of a big part of the story that was left out if you ask me. What if they got married 6-7 years ago and this was his 5th marriage and 3 of his other wives died under "suspicious" terms? Or maybe he just had a history of domestic abuse in the other marriages. I can't come to a conclusion until I get the facts. This reporter gets an "F".

*Edit* - Good catch Fuzz

A man can only take so much nagging!

Take the trash out! Pick up your dirty clothes! Would it kill you to help out around here once in a f'ing while? I cook and clean for you and do you appreciate it? All you do is sit around the bloody house all day! Would it kill you to get out? You never take me anywhere!

Or in the case of Rod Stewart's ex-wife Racheal Hunter and my ex-finacee, "All you do is spend your free times plain with your toy trains!"

Since they had a 46 yo grandson, they probably had been married for 66 years! That's a long bloody time to be with one woman!

If I were his lawyer, I would try and get more men on the Jury and go for th Nag defense!

My guess. Something is wrong here.

My grandad got violent prior to his death in 1995. He suffered some mild strokes and was diagnosed with dementia. He didn't go this far, but he hit my grandmother and two of my aunts who were taking care of him. He had to be put in a home where he could be watched. This happened over the course of about a month in his case, and he was only about 78 at the time, so this kind of thing can come on someone quickly.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
