Police say a Florida woman stabbed her husband more than 140 times and hit him on the head to make sure he was dead. Palm Springs police arrested Joan Burke on a charge of first-degree murder.
Joan Burke was arrested Sunday and charged with first-degree murder, according to Palm Springs police. No motive was announced.
Melvin Weller’s stepson found his body in a pool of blood on the couple’s kitchen floor on Feb. 11. A bloody knife and meat cleaver were in the sink and blood was splattered throughout the room, a police report said.“It is very common for the offender to have lacerations to the palm of one or both hands when he or she stabs another person,” the police report said.A lawyer for Burke was not listed in records of her booking into the Palm Beach County Jail.
“He was always pretty friendly if he passed by, and if me and my dad were outside he would just wave to us,” Isabella Jaramillo told WPTV. “It’s crazy to think that somebody could do that to somebody else.”
