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.

That too. They’ve culturally appropriated just about everything western and then have the temerity to accuse us of cultural appropriation. Did they have KFC in Africa way back?

I hate it when my wife leaves my best carving knives in the damn sink!

Especially with my blood still on them!

Not premeditated; crime of passion.

Perhaps she was upset about something ... maybe.

Could be called “Angry Black Woman” with decades of pent up anger. Had enough it would seem.

I suspect she’ll be happier being taken care of in prison life than she was with him.
