CINCI WIFE ACCUSED OF KILLING HUSBAND, PROPPING HIM UP
Dayton Daily News ^ | 1/28/2004 | Associated Press Staff

CINCINNATI -- A woman was indicted on charges she stabbed her husband to death as he slept in bed, dressed his body and propped it up in a chair.

Investigators said Faye Harriel, 32, waited 12 hours before calling paramedics to say that her husband, Gregory Roaden, 41, wasn't breathing. Prosecutors said the bedroom and the body were cleaned with bleach.

A Hamilton County grand jury indicted Harriel on charges of aggravated murder and murder on Monday. If convicted, she could be sentenced to prison for life.

"It's one of the strangest cases we've seen," county Prosecutor Mike Allen said.

The motive for the Jan. 16 killing is not known, Allen said.

Harriel obtained a temporary restraining order against Roaden in 2001 after he was arrested on a charge of domestic violence, according to court records. The domestic violence charge was dismissed.

Neighbors told police they heard the couple arguing Jan. 15, and later saw Roaden sitting on the front porch of his Cincinnati home with scratches on his face.

Roaden repeatedly was stabbed with a steak knife about 1 a.m., police Capt. Vince Demasi said.

Had Miz Harriel been a vegan, she wouldn't be stabbing her man with a steak knife!

She must have gotten the idea from watching The Sopranos before going ahead with dispatching dear hubby.

She wanted to be able to tell him to "sit there and be quiet".

"...dressed his body and propped it up in a chair."

Well, it's nice to find a woman supporting her husband.

What is it with this "stabbing with a steak knife?" The steak knives we use are so flimsy they wouldn't penetrate human flesh. They would break off. The serrated edge cuts the steak but the knife itself has no penetrating capability.

How many people did she kill?

Oh come on. They expect us to believe he slept through all that? Then again, maybe that provides a clue to the motive.
