Viola Drath, slain Georgetown woman, had sought protection against husband, documents show
Tabloid? Of course it's in a tabloid too:

Wait. It gets odder.Viola Drath, a popular 91-year-old Georgetown socialite who was found slain in her home Friday, had a tumultuous and sometimes violent relationship with her much younger husband, court documents show.
Drath obtained several protective orders against Albrecht Gero Muth during their 21-year marriage, according to D.C. Superior Court records. Drath was 86 at the time; Muth, 42.
---
In May 2006, Drath brought domestic violence charges against Muth, alleging that he had been drinking and became incensed at a comment during an argument in their library, picked up a chair and hit her over the head with it.
---
The rest - the gay lover, for example - at Washington Post link above. A very sad story of a very interesting woman's demise.Muth, a German native who uses the name Sheikh Ali Al-Muthaba, received an undergraduate degree from American University in 1991. He claims to be a brigadier general in the Iraqi Army with connections to groups in Iraq
---
Several people said that Muth often said he was a Washington and Iraqi insider but that they were unsure of his pedigree and access.
---
Neighbors said Muth dressed strangely, sometimes strolling around the neighborhood in a military uniform consisting of khaki pants and a red jacket and carrying what appeared to be a marching baton and a cigar
