A 92-year-old man has been charged with the murder of his wife after she was found dead at their home in Exeter. Laurence Billam of Millbrook Lane faces a murder charge following the death of his 87-year-old wife Shirley Billam and is due to appear before Exeter Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
As reported by the BBC, officers from Devon and Cornwall Police were called to the address on 19 April following a welfare concern report. When they arrived at the property they found Shirley Billam dead. Police confirmed the two were husband and wife and said the family is being supported by specialist officers trained to assist in cases of this nature.
