Its the last day of week two (we get Sundays off) in the A-Z Challenge and todays letter is K 🙂
My random word today is an obvious one…Kill…
The Daily Herald
A London woman was found dead in her apartment yesterday afternoon when police arrived after being called by her distraught husband.
The 36 year old was found with her throat cut on the couples bed. Paramedics had already arrived on the scene but were unable to save her.
Her husband, a writer, was arrested at the apartment. A police spokesman told this reporter that the husband was devastated. He had been working on a difficult scene from his crime thriller novel and had asked his wife if he could use her to act out where the villain attempts to kill a detective.
A source close to the couple said “She told me Tuesday that she had her kitchen knives professionally sharpened that morning. I didn’t even know you could do that. I can’t believe it, what a shock, they’re a lovely couple.” It appears that only a small amount of pressure on her throat would have been needed for the situation to end in tragedy.
The husband, who remains unnamed will appear before Magistrates tomorrow morning.
It is rumoured that the husband is a successful crime writer who’s novels have been best sellers. But this is only speculation. Updates will follow as and when we receive more information.

Wow, That’s slightly spooky. I’d say he might have needed to try a different route for his, uh, research.

I guess he’s lying and she wasn’t such a darling after all. Good scenario for all that.

Funnily enough, I was just talking to my wife last night about doing some research into online sex and dating sites for my next novel. Unsurprisingly she thought it was a terrible idea. 😉
