A man is on trial for allegedly murdering his wife after a night of accusations
Hamilton: A man is facing serious charges after his wife was found dead. Walter Buchanan is accused of murdering Darrel Buchanan at their flat. This happened on February 18, 2023, and it’s a pretty shocking case.
According to the jury, the night before her death, Walter was called a “wife cheater.” He claims they had a fight because he went out with friends while she stayed home. Darrel sent him a text saying, “I guess you are having fun in Bothwell without me wife cheater.” Sounds like there was some tension brewing.
Walter says he came home late and found Darrel cold in bed the next morning. He tried to revive her before calling for help. He insists he never cheated and didn’t think she was unfaithful either. They met in Thailand back in 2015 and had a complicated relationship, marrying multiple times in different countries.
Neighbors have testified about Darrel’s struggles. One neighbor recalled her saying she could end up dead and no one would know. It’s heartbreaking to hear that she felt so trapped. Another neighbor mentioned that Darrel had marks on her head and claimed Walter had beaten her before.
Walter is also facing charges related to domestic abuse, including racial harassment. The trial is ongoing, and it’s clear there’s a lot more to uncover about their relationship. It’s a tough situation, and everyone is waiting to see how it unfolds.
