Georgia police have arrested an 82-year-old man in the stabbing death of his 80-year-old wife after he initially reported her death a suicide.
Judith Miller and Bruce Miller had been together 56 years when Judith Miller died from an apparent stab wound on Sept. 15. Roswell police responded to reports of a suicide at the couple's home on Oakhaven Drive.
Bruce Miller "made the original 911 call and provided a statement to investigators indicating that Judith’s wound was self-inflicted, and that she had taken her own life," Roswell police said in a Wednesday Facebook post.

An autopsy and investigation by the Roswell Police Department, however, led investigators to rule Judith Miller's death a homicide.
Detectives arrested Bruce Miller on charges of murder, felony murder and possession of a knife during the commission of a crime on Wednesday — one day after Judith Miller's funeral, according to her obituary.
