A husband is said to have murdered his wife with a “big a*** knife” when she was less than enthusiastic over his Valentine’s Day plans.

Taylor Meyer, 34, had put together a Paris-themed night for his partner Deborah, buying her a new dress and having their children draw pictures of the Eiffel Tower. His attempts are said to have been borne out of suspicions she was having an affair with a co-worker.

However when he unveiled the plans she “didn’t give a s***”, according to court documents . The evening allegedly ended with her being beaten with a wine bottle and then stabbed her 40 times, as their children - all aged under five - slept upstairs in their home in Jefferson, Louisville in the US.

Law and Crime reported he told investigators: “It was the hardest I’ve ever tried. She just didn’t give a s***.” An affidavit says: “For the last two months I’ve been staying home with the kids every Saturday night while she goes and f****s whoever and lies to my face about it.

...

When she was dead he is said to have taken a picture of her body and texted it to the person she was allegedly sleeping with, adding: “Your fault.”

Not sure if... you're not sure, but I was.

This took place in Jefferson, which is evidently a suburb or subdivision of Louisville, Kentucky.

Yeah, but it was a Paris-themed date. They’re asking if beating her with a wine bottle and stabbing her was really in-keeping with the theme. IMHO I think he went a bit off-piste here, Paris isn’t really known for knife crime.

Paris isn’t really known for knife crime.

Yeah, isn't that London? Just be be mean; maybe an average American won't even know they speak different languages or that one is in England and Paris in France.

Yeah, London is a big one for it. Sounds bad until you realise that the reason it's so high relative to the US is because they don't have access to guns.

It’s worse than that. London is full of Londoners.

If I was a Londoner I’d both want to stab people and want to be stabbed, too.
