In the end, Elsie Ann Kost couldn't take any more of the threats from her 60-year-old husband, Edward. She couldn't take the beatings. She couldn't take the verbal abuse.
Last Tuesday, the yelling began again. Then came pushing and shoving. He threatened to shoot some of the couple's five Dalmatians and four cats, and retrieved a .357 Magnum pistol he kept stored with two other handguns. Elsie Kost told police her husband set the gun on the kitchen table and walked outside their two-story home, set on 28 acres in an isolated, forested, hilly area of New Sewickley Township. She followed him outside, where it's unlikely anyone heard the sound of the bullet she fired into the back of his head.
Today, 60-year-old Elsie Kost is in the Beaver County Jail, charged with homicide. An autopsy yesterday determined that Edward Kost died from the gunshot wound. Toxicology tests are pending.

While we're at it lets reopen Mumia Abu Jamal, after all its 300 years of institutionalized racism forced him to shoot that cop six times.
Disagree---
Some folks give up the right to be called human.
Like this guy. Next to a loyal and loving pet, no contest.
I too go with the "he needed a killin'" rule.
"Animals are never, EVER more important than a human life."
Depends on the human.
But, the other lovers of sick b*stards like this sicko will never admit it!!!!
Did he tell you that? Where did you get the information from? Oh, yes from the murderess. That must be it because Kost can't be reached for comment.
Maybe she made the whole thing up, maybe she can prove some of it. Doesn't matter. When you are afraid of a spouse you don't kill them. You move out and divorce them. But whenever the story is about some killer woman, all male Freepers and most of the female ones loose all their common sense.
If you had followed up on this story you would know the story.
