PLYMOUTH —
Investigators have released the identity of a woman found bludgeoned to death in her home after police witnessed her husband sever his femoral artery with a power saw in what officials are calling an apparent murder-suicide.
Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz’s office on Friday identified the woman as 55-year-old Jettie Lincoln. She was found in her bed covered with a blanket, along with the couple’s two dogs, which had also been killed. At the foot of the bed, police discovered a blood-stained mason’s hammer found to be consistent with her injuries.
Police discovered the grisly scene on Monday after responding to the house at 7 Farmhurst Road for a well-being check. They found Lincoln’s husband, 49-year-old Keith Lincoln, sitting on his living room couch. As they stood in the doorway, Lincoln picked up a circular saw and cut his leg.
As the officers tried to slow the bleeding, Lincoln told them he had killed his wife and their the dogs, according to a press release from Cruz’s office.
The husband was rushed to Jordan Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
In a press release sent out Friday afternoon, a spokesman for Cruz’s office said the woman was killed by blunt force trauma to the head and that she appeared to have been dead for “an extended period of time.”
