I am able to make statements that the media and police cannot. Unfortchunstrly in this case it seems abundently clear that the good doctor is almost-certainly guilty. Circumstantial evidence includes:
it is reported his wife had prepared divorce papers earlier in the week and had discussed looking forward to her new life of freedom
police had been called to the house before for domestic issues
neighbors heard loud argument the night of the murder
carpets were missing from family home that the surgeon continued to reside in for days following his wife’s death
police (from a major and reputable force) felt they had enough evidence to charge a well-respected and powerful person with first degree murder (somewhat unusual for something like this I think) just days after the incident, clearly no doubt in their minds
In other news, the head of the KKK (and prominent Trump supporter) David Duke has already chimed in to blame the interracial marriage for the tragedy: x.com
Sounds like a case I’m familiar with in Bangkok. One doctor murdered his doctor wife. They were in the middle of a nasty divorce, and she was taking him to the cleaners. By all accounts, this was a kind, compassionate doctor, and no one who knew him could believe him capable of such a thing. We didn’t know him ourselves but had mutual friends, and they were all shocked. He was a fertility doctor, a good one, and a lot of couples he’d helped stood witness for him at trial.
It was an odd case. He was staying in the same university faculty housing building we stayed in when we were first married, although this was after we’d moved out. But he’d apparently drugged her food or drink at a restaurant in a nearby shopping mall. Video footage from the parking garage showed him taking her to his car – you know, like when you help someone who’s passed out drunk, holding her up while walking. Then he chopped her into little pieces in his room in the housing building and disposed of them at different places.
He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life after all the testimonials. His wife had been widely despised to begin with, and everyone loved him. He turned into a pretty good prison doctor, and I think I heard he may have even been paroled, although I’m not sure about that.
Nothing what you said links the Doctor to the murder and indeed the last, police thinks he did it is a common cause of miscarriages of justice. He might have done it, we don;t have enough on that.

Might have been true. Murderers dont much look like what you would imagine. And a significant number of murders are domestic or private arguments gone too far. Its chilling, 999 times you hold you temper, the one time you lose it; well observers look at it and realise “but for the grace of God”.
Fair enough…although by the sound of your text, there is an element of doubt (you misspelled “abundantly”… dead giveaway… pun intended).
I’m not ruling out suicide…just because she was found in a suitcase…
I saw this story in the local news this morning. My first reaction was “Do I own a suitcase large enough to fit a person’s body?” which was probably inappropriate.
I could happily have lived my life without reading the filth in the comment section after that tweet. Seriously I now have empathy for people who are easily squeamish and click on a pimple popping video and go “why!!!? Why did I click that!”
