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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
