Pennsylvania Man Sentenced After Shooting Wife in Wheelchair During Fight Over Cooking Dinner

A judge ordered a Pennsylvania man to serve two life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of his wife and her elderly aunt after a domestic dispute over cooking turned fatal.

Last October, Santiago Payano-Sanchez and his wife, Ana Gutierrez-Cedano, got into a “senseless” verbal fight over who would cook dinner, according to Assistant District Attorney Jessica Collo. The altercation turned violent when Payano-Sanchez, 64, took out a gun and shot Gutierrez-Cedano, 59, who was in a wheelchair at the time.
