Shane Simmonds, 39, has admitted to murdering his wife, Tia Simmonds, 32, whose body was discovered in their attic covered in clothing on January 3.
After initially pleading guilty to manslaughter due to diminished responsibility, Simmonds changed his plea to murder just before his trial, signaling a significant shift in his case.
Simmonds also previously pleaded guilty to two counts of rape involving an unrelated woman, highlighting a troubling pattern of violent behavior prior to the murder charge.
With a sentencing date set for October 17, Simmonds faces the possibility of a life sentence after the court proceedings conclude, reflecting the gravity of his actions.
