PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Authorities say a man admitted to killing his wife in a note to his two sons, saying she was suffering from terminal cancer.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that Michael D. Winchester, 52, of Lake Oswego is suspected of killing Heidi A. Winchester, 50, on Jan 30.
Their 18-year-old son initially told dispatchers that his father had strangled the woman. But when police entered the home, they said they found the woman with cuts to her neck.
