Florida woman accused of stabbing husband more than 140 times
New York Post ^ | 2/21/2022 | Kenneth Garger

A Florida woman was charged with murdering her husband by allegedly stabbing him more than 140 times inside the kitchen of their home, a report said.

The victim, Melvin Weller, 62, was found by his 41-year-old stepson lying in a pool of blood in his Palm Springs residence on Feb. 11, according to a police report obtained by WPTV.

The stepson called the police who later found multiple knives and a meat cleaver in the sink.

Weller’s wife, Joan Burke, 61, was lying in her bed and did not say a word when police showed up.

She was hospitalized and later arrested following an investigation into the deadly stabbing.

An autopsy determined Weller was stabbed over 140 times. He also suffered a skull fracture after being pummeled in the head with a meat cleaver.

Burke is being held without bond on a first degree murder charge.

It must have taken quite a while to stab him 140 times. Did she take breaks, just to catch her breath? I hope they don’t let that thing anywhere near even a thumb tac for the rest of her life.

She’ll plead it was side effect of vax that made her crazy.

When she’s found not guilty, vax mandates will be dropped for all married black women.

What do people expect?
They took her off the box of my favorite pancake mix and condemned her to obscurity...
Naturally there are unintended consequences...
Poor sweet lady...

The Brassempouy head is wearing what looks like a cornrow hairstyle.

So maybe swiped from Europe 20,000 years ago.

The Florida Palm Springs is not like the CA Palm Springs. I lived there 40 years ago, and it was working/middle class back then. I suspect it has ungentrified in the subsequent decades.

They found her in bed afterwards. I guess she was exhausted from all that stabbing.

She asked him, “Do I look fat in this dress?” And then it all went wrong...
