Man who stabbed wife 123 times while high on cold medicine was a fan of 'American Psycho'; victim's dad says he had planned the murder from day one
Matthew Phelps pled guilty to first-degree murder over the stabbing death of his wife, Lauren Hugelmaier, and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole
The family of the woman who died after she was stabbed 123 times by her husband, an aspiring pastor, has come out to narrate their horror and said that he had planned on killing her from the day they met. Earlier this month, 29-year-old Matthew Phelps pled guilty to first-degree murder for the death of his 29-year-old wife Lauren Hugelmaier Phelps in September 2017 and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The Daily Mail reports that the murder took place on September 1 last year at the couple's two-bedroom home in Raleigh, North Carolina. In a 911 call Phelps made at the time, he was heard saying, "I have blood all over me and there's a bloody knife on my bed, and I think I did it. I can't believe this."
