Jill Biden's ex-husband arrested and charged with killing his current wife [View all]

Source: NBC News

William Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody Monday and is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Linda Stevenson, according to a grand jury indictment filed in Delaware.

New Castle County police did not provide details on the death, but an initial release had noted that officers responded to a domestic dispute Dec. 28 at a residence in the Wilmington area.

Linda Stevenson was found unresponsive in the living room and died despite lifesaving measures by officers at the scene. The press release at the time said that her body was turned over to the Delaware Division of Forensic Science for an autopsy.

A cause of death was not included in the statement on William Stevenson's arrest. The grand jury's indictment Monday was the result of an "extensive weekslong investigation" into the death, police said.
