'Passion of Christ' Moves Man To Confess Killing 'Suicide' Victim

<snip>

RICHMOND -- Detectives say the death of a 19-year-old woman originally ruled a suicide has turned into a murder case after a repentant man who'd watched The Passion of the Christ confessed to killing her because she was carrying his child.

Fort Bend County Sheriff's Detective Mike Kubricht said today that investigators thought Ashley Nicole Wilson had hanged herself in January. Earlier this month, however, 21-year-old Dan R. Leach of Rosenberg turned himself in after watching Mel Gibson's controversial movie about the last hours of Christ and decided to seek redemption, Kubricht said.

The young woman's body was found by her mother Jan. 19 in her Richmond-area apartment. The Harris County Medical Examiner ruled her death a suicide caused by asphyxia due to external compression with a ligature.

Then, on March 7, Leach, who had known the victim for many years, walked into the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department headquarters and confessed to killing her.

It moved him to admit his sin, not to commit another one!!!!

Please, at least attempt to not outright lie.

It didn't lead him to kill her...

a little slower at typing, I am disappointed in the title of this thread.

It looks like he was moved to turn himself in after watching the movie, not to kill his wife. He had already done that back in January.

Bit of a difference between 'moves him to kill' and 'moves him to confess'. Are you secretly Matt Drudge?

edit to say: Man, you guys type fast!

you are right. misleading headline from an external link. sorry.
