Macon, GA: Macon Murder Suspect Dies After Illness

A Macon man accused of shooting his wife to death two years ago, then shooting himself in the head, died Tuesday while awaiting trial.

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office says 71-year-old James Mullis died at the Medical Center of Central Georgia after a long-term illness.

Police said he killed his wife Betty Mullis in 2009, then turned the gun on himself.

He spent the last two years in jail, charged with felony murder.

The Bibb County Sheriff's Office said a court date was scheduled for next month.
