A man from Enola, Pennsylvania has been accused of killing his wife on Christmas Eve — and trying to make it look like she died by suicide.
According to court documents obtained by PennLive, Christopher Colbert, 39, got into an argument with his wife, Tamara Colbert, on Saturday, and things escalated out of control. Per police, she fled upstairs after her husband tried to attack her with a knife. The altercation continued in the bedroom, where Colbert allegedly shot Tamara in the head. He is also accused of strangling her, according to docs reviewed by People. She was also just 39 years old.

They noticed blood on his head, a nearby pistol, and that he smelled of alcohol.
Shockingly, Christopher had abandoned the charade. In a blood-stained letter discovered inside the home, he revealed he’d killed Tamara and planned to die by suicide as well. According to PennLive, the letter stated:

Whoa. So, so tragic.
