Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaae tētahi tāne 88-tau te pakeke o Missouri he hara ia i te patunga o tana wahine 86-tau te pakeke i te tau kua hipa. I whakaae a Donald Rowland i te Kooti Rohe o Boone County i te Mane mo te kohuru i te taumata tuatahi. Kua whakaritea tana whiu mō te 13 o Aperira. I whakawakia a Rowland i te tuatahi mo te kohuru tuatahi me te mahi taihara patu i te matenga o tana wahine, a Betty Rowland, engari i whakahekehia e nga kaitohutohu aua whakapae i te marama kua hipa. E ai ki nga mana, i karanga te tamahine pakeke ki nga pirihimana i muri i tana haerenga ki te whare o te tokorua i Columbia i te Oketopa 2014 me te kite i ona maatua i te moenga, e rua nga whara wero. Ko te tokorua pouri: Ko Donald Rowland (taha maui), 88, kua whakaae ki te kohuru tuatahi i te Oketopa 2014 i te mate o tana wahine 64 tau, ko Betty Rowland (matau) E kii ana te pirihimana i kii a Rowland ki nga pirihimana i patua e ia tana wahine ka ngana ki te tango i tona ake oranga, na te mea kaore ia i hiahia kia waiho hei taumaha ki to ratau whanau.

He kitenga whakamataku: I tū te tamahine pakeke o Betty rāua ko Donald Rowland ki te whare o ōna mātua i te 3400 o Woodrail Terrace ki te tirotiro i a rāua, ā, i kitea e ia te tokorua e whara ana i te moenga. E rua ngā wero whakamate i werohia ai a Mrs Rowland ki te uma, ā, i kīa kua mate ia i te wāhi o te mahi. I kawea tōna tāne e 64 tau te pakeke ki te Whare Hauora o te Whare Wānanga me ngā whara i whakawhiwhia e ia ki a ia anō, e ai ki tētahi kerēme mō te take pea.
