The Silencers

A 90-Year Old Killed 89-Year Old Wife With Hammer.

John Bunz, seated in a wheelchair in state Supreme Court in Buffalo, America, admitted on Wednesday that he and his wife had been arguing and he took a hammer to her.

He beat his wife to death on March 21 in the retirement village apartment they shared in the Buffalo suburb of Amherst, with a hammer during an argument.

He offered no explanation as to why he struck her.

Judge Russell Buscaglia asked him if he hit his wife 30 times, as prosecutor Paul Bonanno said.
"Possibly, yes," responded the gravelly voiced Bunz.

The judge had to speak loudly into his microphone as it appeared Bunz could not hear. 
John pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter as part of a plea bargain.

Prosecutors agreed to the plea because of his age but would still recommend a sentence of around 20 years because of the violence involved in Virginia Bunz's death, Bonanno said.
The charge carries a range of 5 to 25 years.

The couple's adult son and daughter approved the plea agreement although neither was in court.

89-year-old Virginia and 90-year old John had been married for nearly 68 years.

John, who gave his birth date as Nov. 25, 1919, is a retired chemist and technician for Niagara Mohawk Power Corp.

He and Virginia Bunz had celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on April 4, 2007, according to The Buffalo News.

The woman was sent to the hospital for treatment.

The man could not tolerate his grumbling wife and repeatedly asked her to stay at the old folks home.

He could no longer stand his grumbling wife that he attacked her with a chopper at their home in Hong Kong.

Neighbours also said the couple constantly quarreled over minor issues.
On Tuesday, they had an argument again.

The octogenarian rushed to the kitchen, grabbed a chopper and attacked his wife.

Its sad to see they can do something that evil to one another even after living their lives together for such a long time.

These stories scare me.
Pent-up feelings far too long, I suppose.

Hi Ummie, really sad see or read these happenings....
and I have personally seen wives been beaten up by husbands....or burnt with cigarettes...they, the husbands deserve what they get from the law.
Some men just carry things too far....and to a woman they loved and married. Sad.
Best regards, Lee.

These wives' self-esteem most probably at their lowest.

An elderly man I know, used to ask his wife to borrow money from neighbours or a beating + abusive words hurled at her if she did not bring back some money.
When he passed away few years back, the wife was the happiest person & the neighbours were all relieved of his self-centred way.
