The Suffolk County police say that David Steeves admitted to poisoning his estranged wife. Det. Lt. Jack Fitzpatrick said, "It all happened since he told her he was gay... He told us that he didn't want to see her with anyone else." On Oct. 18, Steeves apparently put cyanide (bought on the Internet) in Maureen Steeves' coffee and left the house. When he returned, she was on the floor and he brought her to the hospital. Two days later, he took their sons to England; police arrested him today at a bank near JFK Airport. Steeves' lawyer said his client was innocent, "He says the police roughed him up and forced him to give a confession." However, police say that Steeves "looked at Web sites that showed among other things if cyanide would show up in an autopsy." Maureen Steeves is still in the hospital; charges against him will likely be upgraded if she dies.





This man is an emoticon.
Isn't the internet amazing?
If he couldn't bear to see her with anyone else, he should have been stealthily putting lard in her coffee instead.
If he was gay why would he care if she was with someone else. Hello? A gay man should be happy if his wife moved on to someone else after coming out to her. Not like he should really want her anymore since she isn't plumbed correctly. Something here doesn't add up. Maybe she was threatening him or something after coming out to her. Still no reason to poison her, but the no someone else theory just doesn't sound right.
between this guy and the guy who killed his teacher wife long island is just brimming with smart winners - let's see how many more stories pop up
"between this guy and the guy who killed his teacher wife long island is just brimming with smart winners"
And brimming with "innocent" men who make detailed confessions and then talk to lawyers and suddenly claim to have been coerced into confessing to something they didn't do.
Poisoning your wife is soooo gay.
"If he was gay why would he care if she was with someone else. Hello? A gay man should be happy if his wife moved on to someone else after coming out to her. Not like he should really want her anymore since she isn't plumbed correctly. Something here doesn't add up."
Yeah, it's like something's wrong with this guy. He's not thinking normally or something. Usually you'd think someone who'd kill his wife would be very logical, and that everything he'd do (and everything he'd say when he got caught) would make sense. Definitely, something fishy. Must have been something she did.
Looks like a happy guy.
he is soooo not Gay
Why is every serial killer gay?
Ah yes...marriage.
An institution to be revered, idolized, looked up to and protected from gays.
oh wait...
Seriously, between this and the last dozen or so "husband kills wife" stories of the past few years, protecting the institution of marriage from gays seems to be the least of this country's worries. How about protecting marriage from *husbands*
PS. I didn't spell check before I submitted and actually started screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" as the spinny thing was submitting the comment
I'm definately being that guy for Halloween.
If he had REALLY wanted to kill her he shoulda put all her savings into Bear Stearns stocks.
I thought cyanide killed instantly! I always wanted one of those spy novel cyanide shirt buttons, in case I get diagnosed with something awful and want to check out early, or in case McCain wins the election. Darn!
