Man gives wife candlelit bubble bath to kill her
DALLAS (Reuters) - A Texas man is suspected of using a bubble bath by candlelight and soothing music as bait to set a date with death for his wife.
Police said on Monday that William Joseph Wolfe, an emergency room nurse, has been arrested for attempted murder after he tried to electrocute his wife in the bathtub by dropping a radio into her bathwater -- a method of execution he researched on the Internet.
Wolfe is suspected of drawing the bath for his wife and bringing in a radio with an extension cord attached so his wife could listen to music during her soak.
"He appeared to accidentally bump the radio," said Ronnie Walker, deputy chief of police in the east Texas city of Henderson. The wife was able to bump the radio before it hit the water, and thought that there might be something suspicious, Walker said.
What she found was that her husband had recently visited Web sites that detailed bathtub electrocutions. Walker said an examination of the computer by a cyber crimes police unit confirmed that he visited these sites before the incident that took place on March 11.
According to an affidavit presented in the case, Wolfe took out a life insurance policy for his wife a few months ago, for a "considerable amount of money," Walker said. The wife was not harmed in the incident.
Wolfe was arrested last Thursday and has been released on bond. He faces a second-degree charge of attempted murder and could spend up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
