A Clayton County man has admitted to strangling his wife, police said.

Drew Shepard, 55, was arrested on murder charges Thursday at his Jonesboro home soon after he called police and said he had killed his wife, Aletha, while she was sitting at a computer.

"I still can't believe it. I can't,” neighbor Belinda James told Tom Jones of Channel 2 Action News.

Shepard also pleaded guilty to marijuana and methamphetamine charges in Clayton County in 1993.
