Uxoricide
Uxoricide (from Latin uxor meaning "wife") is murder of one's wife. It can refer to the act itself or the man who carries it out. Uxoricide is often preceded by the wife's attempt to leave her husband, or by real or suspected infidelity. Overkill is reported to be common in these slayings, presumably reflecting the emotional state of the killer.
