*Prelim Hearing (@ ET) – CT – Eden Claxton (64) (June 11, 2018) – Allen Claxton (75) – arrested & charged (6/28/18) & arraigned (6/30/18) with 1 count of murder.
Plead not guilty. $1.5M bond; posted $150K bond & released. A botched murder/suicide; he voluntarily surrendered.
I thought they both were in their 70s? He 75, her 74? Possibly in his thinking, til death us do part is to be determined by him. It's hard to imagine they were out doing yard work that day (which my hubby and I both enjoy), and he decides she's not worth the money he's having to pay to keep them together. She obviously wasn't physically suffering at that point in time. But, she had more tests/treatments coming up. Seems in this case, "the LOVE of money IS the root of this evil." IMHO. MOO
I think, for some, it is so much easier to climb up a ladder than to spiral back down (which, in his greedy mind, he thought would happen). He's passed his "three score and twenty" and it's downhill now, for the most part, I would imagine. Now there's absolutely NO ONE in his life to walk down the hill with him. No children, just possibly some relatives watching the clock. MOO
