MEMPHIS (WSVN) — A Tennessee woman has been accused of stabbing her husband to death after he asked for a divorce.
According to WMC, officers found David Perkins dead in his front yard from a stab wound to the chest.
According to a police report, Perkins’ wife Teresa Post admitted to stabbing Perkins.
Police said Post was arguing with her husband when he asked for a divorce. She said he walked out of the house and saw him kneeling next to their car with a box cutter in his hand.
Post, who was already holding a kitchen knife, said she pushed Perkins, and when he turned around, she stabbed him.
