A Florida man was arrested last week after police said he strangled his girlfriend to death and then placed her in a noose to make it look like a suicide.
Brian Wilson, 47, was arrested while in jail on Nov. 28 for a DUI charge after the body of Jennifer Copeland, 43, was found hanging from a noose in her garage, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports. Officers responded to an alleged burglary at the Sarasota home after Copeland's mother found "a tear in the screen door near a door knob and glass slate removed."
According to police, Copeland’s mother told police that Wilson had shown her a noose in the rafters of the garage the day before, and she had asked him to take it down.
The Bradenton Herald reports that two witnesses told police Wilson said he strangled Copeland because she wouldn't shut up.
