A Norwich man accused of stabbing his
pregnant wife to death before lighting their
apartment on fire said he believed the woman
was a Voodoo priestess who was casing spells
on him, according to police documents.
Patrick Antoine, 39, turned himself in to police
at 10:49 a.m. on Thursday and told officers he
had stabbed his wife to death and then set their
apartment ablaze, Norwich Police said. He
appeared in court on Friday.
Officials found an unresponsive 8-months-
pregnant Margarette Mady, 37, with severe
burns and several stab wounds at 283-285
Franklin Street, police said.
According to police court documents, Antoine
and Mady were in a verbal argument the
morning of the murder and fire. When Mady
walked out of the kitchen, Antoine said he
grabbed a wooden handle steak knife and put it
in his pajama pocket, documents said.
Antoine told police he thought his wife was a
Voodoo priestess who had cast several spells
on him over the last couple of years. The
suspect also said his wife had told him he'd be
dead by July as a sacrifice prior to her child
being born.
Police said that Antoine did not believe Mady
was pregnant with his child.
