A US woman, Patricia Hill, was on Saturday arrested after she admitted to police investigators that she had shot and killed her husband because he bought pornography.
According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, just after 2:30pm, 69-year-old Patricia Hill called 911 and told dispatchers she just shot her husband Frank, reports Fox 16.
When investigators got to the couple’s home in the 3000 block of Donaldson Lane, they found 65-year-old Frank Hill dead in a backyard shed. Investigators say Frank had been shot twice.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, Patricia Hill told investigators she was angry her husband ordered porn on the TV, after she had cancelled his subscription. Hill then told investigators she went to the shed where Frank was. She asked him to leave. When he said no, she went into the house, got a gun, then shot him.
“Immediately following the shooting, Mrs Hill stated that she returned inside the residence, where she returned the weapon and called 911 to report the shooting,” said Maj. Lafayette Woods.
During her interview, the Sheriff’s Office says Hill told investigators there were never any physical fights between her and her husband, so at this point investigators do not believe the incident had anything to do with self defence.
Patricia Hill is detention until her court appearance next week.
