Husband allegedly killed wife on Valentine’s Day over date disaster

A husband allegedly killed his wife on Valentine’s Day with a “big ass” knife after she failed to be impressed by the dinner date he arranged.

A US husband allegedly killed his wife on Valentine’s Day with a “big ass” knife after she failed to be impressed by the Paris-themed dinner date he arranged, court documents state.

Taylor Meyer, 34, is accused of beating his wife, Deborah, with a wine bottle and stabbing her around 40 times while the couple’s three young children slept upstairs in their home on Feburary 14.

Mr Meyer’s grand plans for the perfect romantic celebration stemmed from a growing suspicion that his 36-year-old wife was having an affair with a co-worker, the New York Postreported.

In an attempt to turn the tide, he bought her a dress, ordered dinner and had their kids draw pictures of the Eiffel Tower as part of a “Bringing Paris to you” evening, cited the documents.

Mr Meyer gave his wife a card with a handwritten message inside and the two even danced to their wedding song, he reportedly told police.

But to her husband’s eyes, Deborah did not appear impressed or appreciative.

“It was the hardest I’ve ever tried,” he allegedly moaned during an interview with investigators, Law and Crime reported.

“She just didn’t give a s**t.”

His wife left the home for 20 minutes, which Mr Meyer said he believes was to meet up with her “boyfriend”.

When she got back, the night turned violent when he allegedly attempted to pry the victim’s phone out of her hands, which led to a fight.

“What are you going to do, kill me? You’re going to hurt me and leave our kids with no parents?” his wife said, according to Mr Meyer’s interview with police.

He eventually wrestled away the phone and sat on her back as he went through it before calling the alleged “boyfriend” to tell him the commotion was his fault, according to the legal paperwork reported on by WAVE.

The two continued to struggle before Mr Meyer allegedly told police he hit her over the head with a wine bottle multiple times, causing her to lose consciousness.

He then found a “big ass kitchen knife, a long one,” and plunged the knife into her dozens of times, including her chest, the court documents alleged.

He allegedly took a photo of Deborah’s body and cruelly sent it to the possible boyfriend, texting him, “Your Fault,” according to police.

He also allegedly told friends and family he killed his wife.

When Mr Meyer was arrested, officers found the couple’s three children, all under the age of 5, inside the home, WAVE reported.

Mr Meyer has pleaded not guilty to a murder charge. He will be held in jail leading up to his July trial date.
