Elderly Man Murders Wife in Pancake Dispute: Officials

An 85-year-old man in Washington, D.C., allegedly stabbed his 81-year-old wife to death because he did not want to eat the pancakes she made for him. The man, who had lost weight during a recent hospital stay, admitted to the killing and described his wife as a "bit of a taskmaster" who wanted him to gain weight. The argument escalated when the wife pushed the pancakes on him, leading to the fatal stabbing. The man has been charged with second-degree murder.
