MORRISDALE, Pa. (AP) - Authorities say a Pennsylvania woman who claimed her husband killed himself has been charged with murder in his death.
WJAC-TV reports 46-year-old Kimberly Williams, of Morrisdale, has been charged with shooting her husband in their home March 14.
Police say they found Ronald Williams Jr. on his bed with a gunshot wound to the head.
Kimberly Williams says she was standing behind her husband in their bedroom when she heard the gun go off.
The case was originally reported as a suicide, but investigators found evidence leading them to rule it a homicide.
The district attorney says Williams’ motive was her husband’s will, worth nearly $1 million.
Williams fled to North Carolina and is now being held in county jail there awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania.
Court records do not list an attorney for Williams.
