A
southeastern Kentucky man charged with killing his wife says
he fatally shot her because she asked him to end her
suffering from chest cancer.
Ernest Chris Chumbley told WKYT-TV he fired the shots that
killed 44-year-old Virginia M. Chumbley of London – and he
said he would have expected her to do the same for him. He
told WLEX-TV he loved his wife.
The Laurel County sheriff’s office says Ernest Chumbley
called about 2:30 a.m. EDT Wednesday saying he had shot his
wife. Deputies found her dead in the bedroom.
The 48-year-old Chumbley was arrested on a murder charge
and was being held on $200,000 bond. A jail official told The
Associated Press that Chumbley was declining requests for
further interviews on his lawyer’s advice.
