Police Say Man Killed Wife With Blender
FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- A Fort Wayne man has been charged with killing his wife by repeatedly striking her in the head with a blender.
Caroline Taylor, 51, died of blunt force trauma to her head, Allen County Coroner Dr. E. Jon Brandenberger said Tuesday.
Leroy Taylor, 52, was charged with murder after his wife's body was found in an upstairs bedroom of their home on Monday, police said.
Taylor told a police officer at the scene, "I used a mixer," court documents said. Court documents later referred to the mixer as a blender.
Taylor told police he hit his wife at least 20 times with the blender while she was watching television on Saturday, the affidavit said.
Taylor was being held in the Allen County Jail.
Richard Dickmeyer, of Columbia City, Caroline Taylor's brother, said the couple had been married for 12 or 13 years.
