Hello and welcome back to Sword and Scale Daily, a daily show covering all things true

crime, five days a week. It's Thursday, March 20th. I'm your host, Ryan Williams. In Iowa,

a man called 911 and reported that he killed his wife. He later confessed that he did so out of mercy.

In Massachusetts, a teenager has been charged with the murder of his brother over the weekend.

In Washington, police were called to a home for a possible drug overdose. Days later,

investigators received a call from a man claiming to be responsible for the victim's

death.

And in Florida, a man was arrested for manslaughter after allegedly driving under the influence

and striking a man in the roadway.

All of this coming at you right now, here on Sword and Scale Daily.

On Sunday, March 9th at around 8.42 p.m., police and Perry, Iowa responded to a home

on the 2,600 block of Lucinda Street after a man called 911 and stated that he had killed

his wife.

When responding officers arrived on the scene,

they encountered 75-year-old Richard Hosing, who had blood on his hands and on his clothing. He was

detained and placed in a patrol car while officers went inside the home. As officers started clearing

the house looking for potential threats, they discovered a woman dead in a bedroom within the home.

It appeared that the woman had sustained a significant wound to her throat, and as such,

she was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim was later identified as Jean Hosing, Richard's wife.

A bloody knife was also located within the home and believed to be the murder weapon, used in the

victim's death.

In a later released criminal complaint, it was learned that Richard had spoken with officers at the scene regarding Jean's death.
