An elderly Florida woman has been arrested for attempting to murder her husband after he received a postcard from one of his ex-girlfriends on Jan 28.
According to WSAZ 3, 71-year-old Bertha Yalter has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery on a person 65 and older, and tampering with a victim. Authorities explained that the incident occurred after her husband got a postcard from a woman that he had dated six decades earlier.
Yalter reportedly flew into a violent rage in the couple’s Eastern Shores North Miami Beach home. Her husband recalled to police that she “tried to smother him with a pillow, bit and physically battered him,”
The official arrest report detailed the victim after the attack as being “extremely fragile with serious bruises and open lacerations on both of his arms and stomach area, as well as open bite marks that were bleeding.”
