A 23-year-old Navy sailor was arrested for allegedly murdering his wife in their home Wednesday night in Connecticut.
George Dodson was charged for fatally beating his wife with a hammer, before setting their house on fire, attempting to kill the couple’s 13-month old child inside.
New London Fire Department responded to a 911 call around 10:30 p.m. about a house on fire at 50 Sherman St. in New London, Connecticut. Upon arrival firefighters discovered wife Shelby Dodson, 23, dead. The newborn child that was also in the home was rescued from the second floor by firefighters.
Thankfully, the child was found conscious and was immediately taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital.
Shortly after firefighters discovered the mother and son, they found Dodson in the backyard with blood all over his hands. When officers approached Dodson, the Navy sailor admitted to murdering his wife because he was jealous.
“We opened up our relationship and she found another man she loved more and I could not stand the thought of it so I killed her,” Dodson told police.
Dodson is charged with murder, criminal attempt at murder, criminal attempt at arson murder, first-degree arson, risk of injury to a minor, tampering with evidence, cruelty to animals, and reckless endangerment.
The 23-year old suspect is an active-duty service member for the U.S. Navy and was assigned to the USS Newport News (SSN 750), Navy Public Affairs Officer Lt. Seth Koenig confirmed, according to local reports.
Dodson is held on $3 million bond in Connecticut.
I guess no one saw anything wrong with this guy, if we can figure out if a moron loke this is a homicidal maniac, while he has officers and supervisors all around him, how can we stop any killings. Everyone of the supervisors and officers directly above him should be court martialed immediately.
I wonder why the same people commenting about how terrible black people are aren’t saying anything about this lovely American “role model” Seaman? He is probably a stand-up citizen in their eyes.. Come quickly Lord Jesus, your people need saving!!
