A Murder Charge

Alabama -- A 51-year-old Lauderdale County man has been indicted by a grand jury for murder, according to timesdaily.com.

An autopsy has revealed that the man's wife died from a broken neck and not from natural causes or an accidental overdose, officials said.

The man, who reportedly is "skilled in karate and martial arts", claimed he found his 55-year-old wife dead on September 7, 2008.

Investigators said the wife had a few bruises on her neck and several bruises across her body and that she looked like she had been physically abused. Consequently, the body was to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.

The autopsy showed the woman had a broken neck and the husband was not able to explain how it happened.
