A husband is said to have murdered his wife with a “big a*** knife” when she was less than enthusiastic over his Valentine’s Day plans.
Taylor Meyer, 34, had put together a Paris-themed night for his partner Deborah, buying her a new dress and having their children draw pictures of the Eiffel Tower. His attempts are said to have been borne out of suspicions she was having an affair with a co-worker.
However when he unveiled the plans she “didn’t give a s***”, according to court documents . The evening allegedly ended with her being beaten with a wine bottle and then stabbed her 40 times, as their children - all aged under five - slept upstairs in their home in Jefferson, Louisville in the US.
Law and Crime reported he told investigators: “It was the hardest I’ve ever tried. She just didn’t give a s***.” An affidavit says: “For the last two months I’ve been staying home with the kids every Saturday night while she goes and f****s whoever and lies to my face about it.
…
When she was dead he is said to have taken a picture of her body and texted it to the person she was allegedly sleeping with, adding: “Your fault.”
I don’t think we should judge the quality of the effort sight unseen. For all we know she just didn’t react exactly as he imagined, or she likes kitsch, or whatever.
What we know is he didn’t get what he wanted so he killed her, the details are between the police, the family, and the inevitable true crime podcast.
I’m glad you are here giving his Paris themed date night a fair chance. It’s important that we don’t jump to any conclusions.
Look, man, maybe you want to blame the kids making shitty art for their mother’s death but I just don’t think we should assume it’s their fault.
