DeWayne McCulla from Utah has admitted to trying to kill his wife in front of her family in order to “ease her suffering” while she was in hospice care. The shocking incident took place at the wife’s mother’s home in the town of Spanish Fork.
McCulla confessed that he attempted to smother his wife with a pillow, but was stopped by her family members who intervened and prevented any harm from coming to her. He was later arrested and charged with attempted murder.
The motive behind McCulla’s actions was reportedly his belief that he was helping his wife end her suffering. However, his attempt to take her life in such a violent manner has understandably sparked outrage and condemnation from the community.
The wife is said to be in a vulnerable state due to her illness, and the fact that McCulla, her husband, would try to harm her rather than support her during such a difficult time is disturbing.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of providing proper care and support to those who are in hospice, especially when they are at their most vulnerable. It also highlights the need for vigilance and awareness when it comes to potential abuse or harm that may occur in such situations.
McCulla’s confession has brought attention to the issue of patients’ rights and the need for better understanding and support for those facing end-of-life care. The case is currently under investigation, and McCulla faces serious legal consequences for his actions.
