This is an old news story clip on December 8, 1954 from TMJ4 News of a man, Raymond Wilson, who murdered his wheelchair bound wife, Ethel Wilson, on November 29, 1954 in his home, butcher shop/grocery store in West Allis, WI located specifically at 7032 W Lincoln Ave which where Sofia's Restaurant previously was and where Chilango Express currently is. The archive is provided by The Wisconsin Historical Society and UW Milwaukee. There was strangely also a news report a few day before this clip by an Australian news paper where he strangely tried to claim she wanted to be murdered as an excuse for murder. For some strange reason the audio is missing for a majority of the provided news broadcast including the entire clip.
