Man charged with killing wife
ST. PETERSBURG (AP) – A man is in police custody after he walked up to two St. Petersburg officers and told them he had killed his wife.
Police say they arrived at Donald Lee Wilmore’s apartment Sunday morning to find his wife, 55-year-old Alma Joyce Pertee, dead.
Wilmore told police that he came home and “found an undressed man inside of his apartment.” Wilmore choked Pertee during an argument as the man ran from the apartment. Police say the couple has had a “history of domestic quarrels.”
Authorities also said the 46-year-old man has prior arrests for domestic battery and is a registered sex offender.
