Woman admits to killing her husband because she was annoyed with him
Sheri Mitchell-Clutts allegedly admitted shooting her husband after saying his repeated checks on her during recovery had become irritating, officials said.
- On Sunday, 65-year-old Sheri Mitchell-Clutts shot and killed her 69-year-old husband, Timothy Clutts, at their Russellville, Alabama home, and was arrested and charged with murder.
- Initially, Mitchell-Clutts claimed to 911 dispatchers that she shot her husband in self-defense, but she later admitted to investigators that she killed him out of annoyance while recovering from recent open-heart surgery.
- Franklin County Sheriff Shannon Oliver reported the suspect actively searched for her husband before firing the fatal shot, while investigators found no domestic-related calls in six years of records.
- Mitchell-Clutts is being held without bond at the Franklin County Jail, and officials continue investigating the couple's history to determine what led to the shooting.
- The case serves as a reminder of domestic volatility, with some community members questioning how annoyance could motivate such violence as authorities review the couple's past.
