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.

Read the headline to my GF on the phone and she replied, “You think she was pissed off?”

Since she is charged with 1st degree murder, I’d say he’s not alright...

Didn't like her pot roast?

PS: She culturally appropriated those dreadlocks from 1800BC Egyptian women; wall paintings shows them wearing them.

“Fell on a butter knife”

My nurse wife was told that by a man who had been stabbed by his female partner.

I had honor to serve on a jury in my younger years. An “Amish” dude beat the life out of his gf with her prosthetic leg. Was eye opening for me at that time. Now few things surprise me much.
