"A Springfield man has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for killing his wife, a slaying that came 40 years after he was convicted of murdering a previous spouse. Kenneth Robson, 68, recently pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of 45-year-old Quitiza Holmes, the Hampden County District Attorney's Office said. He's been ordered committed to the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley."
"According to prosecutors, Robson called 911 shortly before 5 a.m. on April 30, 2024, and told dispatchers he needed an ambulance because "he hit his wife with a hammer and she might be dead." He then exited the building and surrendered to police. Inside, officers found a blood-stained hammer and Holmes lying face down nearby in a pool of blood with "catastrophic" head injuries and apparent defensive wounds, the DA's office said."
