Update April 30, 2025: According to insidehalton, 73-year-old Sandor Somogyi has been found guilty of second-degree murder in connection with the homicide of his wife Margit Somogyi, 67.

During the trial Somogyi testified that he killed his wife in self-defence. He told the jury he held her neck for just “half a minute” and then let go because Margit went quiet. “I didn’t want to kill her, I just wanted to calm her down.” The 73-year-old said he then attempted to kill himself by swallowing a large amount of the various medications he was taking, but this plan failed.
