The honeymoon ended early (and brutally) for an Atlanta couple when the wife was shot to death. That’s tragic all by itself but, in this case, the husband has been arrested for her murder.
The Atlanta newlyweds had been married just since October 10. There are not yet any reports on whether or not the couple had a volatile relationship. But unfortunately there was definitely violence on Sunday night, violence that resulted in the wife’s death.
According to Boston.com:
“Police say 29-year-old Minchillo McLester fatally shot his 25-year-old wife Madison McLester shortly before 5 a.m. Sunday after the couple returned from a Halloween party. He is charged with murder…Police say they have no motive in the murder.”
Police found and arrested a naked McLester—yes, naked—in the park across from the house that he had shared with his wife.
The fact that the murder occurred around 5 a.m, that it happened after the couple returned from a Halloween party, and that McLester was naked when police found him suggests that McLester may have been high on drugs, alcohol, or a combination of the two when he brutally ended his brief marriage.
Those who knew this Atlanta newlywed couple are said to be shocked at the Halloween slaying of Mrs. McLester. But their reactions are not surprising. After such an event, people almost always say variations of “But he was such a nice young man,” or “They were a truly loving couple” or “He wouldn’t hurt a fly.”
And they are wrong. The truth is that we never really know another person. We see only the public personae that a person wears. Many times, the spouse does not even see the other, scary side of the person until it is too late.
Could that have been the case with Madison McLester?
