Drunk man pours gasoline on helpless wheelchair-bound wife and sets her on fire after argument over money
58-year-old Delano Gangruth has been charged with second-degree murder of his wife 61-year-old Kathleen White-Gangruth after he confessed to burning her to death
A Virginia man who confessed to pouring gasoline on his disabled wife and setting her on fire may see his case taken to a grand jury after a judge who glanced through photos of the victim's charred remains ordered for it to be taken into consideration. 58-year-old Delano Gangruth is charged with second-degree murder in the death of his 61-year-old wife, Kathleen White-Gangruth, and faces a lengthy prison sentence if convicted.
According to The Virginian-Pilot, Norfolk police Detective Bill Cogswell testified at Gangruth's hearing and said that the 58-year-old initially denied knowing about the April 17 fire that killed his wife. He later confessed to the crime after hours of questioning.
