details of the account remain covered until revealed Her internet searches began in mid-May 2017: she asked whether arsenic, Benadryl or hydrochlorothiazide could kill him, which guns could kill, where to buy nicotine poison, whether a ball-peen hammer to the temple would kill, what kind of ether would knock someone out, and how to kill quickly with chemicals. On June 9 she bought a .22 calibre handgun online and hid it in a bedroom drawer. On June 13, she said, she woke at 4.45am, made coffee for her son and her husband, and Howard had coffee and a cigarette at 5.45. She and Howard argued. She said she took the gun intending to kill herself in front of him, but when he began calling her names she went into the office where he sat at his computer and shot him in the back of the head. He slumped over and died.

She said she panicked instead of turning herself in, and dragged the body into a closet, where it stayed for eight days. Then, as it began to smell in the summer heat, she decided to dismember it. She used an electric circular saw, an angle grinder and two hand saws, working indoors; the circular saw burned out. She put the parts into three Rubbermaid storage totes, one in the bedroom that had been Howard's office and two in the basement, and poured bleach in and around them. the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it She also told Howard Jr. that the chemical smell in the office was from cleaning up after his father threw chemicals at her.

The discovery came by accident. In December 2017 Howard Jr. locked himself out of the house, climbed in through an unlatched window in a storage bedroom, and found a blanket-covered crate that was buzzing with flies and maggots. He carried it outside and sent his mother a photograph, asking what it was. She replied: 'I killed your dad.' She said it was part of his body, that the other parts were in the basement under boxes and crates, that she had killed him on June 13, and told him to call the police and let them dig the crates out. He called 911 and told the dispatcher his mother had killed his father and that he had found the pieces of the body. this part of the story is covered for now She asked whether her son was all right and said: 'It's been a hell of a six months. I'm just glad it's over.' details of the account remain covered until revealed

Investigators found the other totes and the tools, and recovered her internet history. There was no record that she had ever called the police or sought medical help, and the prosecutor's office had no record of domestic dispute calls involving the couple. Everyone who knew them described a volatile relationship in which they yelled at each other, but nobody had seen or heard of physical abuse. the rest of this account is covered until you choose to reveal it Her defence was battered woman syndrome. The defence also argued that the internet searches reflected fantasies of escape rather than a plan, and that she had stayed because she lacked the money to support herself. Prosecutors said she had spent a month finding the best way to kill him.
