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.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
