- Share via
A minister’s wife charged with murdering her husband told police she shot him after they argued over family finances, and then told him “I’m sorry” as he lay dying in their bedroom, according to testimony at a bond hearing in Selmer.
Mary Winkler, 32, has been jailed without bond since March 23, accused of killing her husband, Matthew, 31, at their Church of Christ parsonage.
Judge Weber McCraw is expected to decide, perhaps by next week, whether he will set a bond. Prosecutors asked McCraw to keep Winkler in jail to await her trial, scheduled for October.
