Man charged in socialite-wife's death due in court
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A German-born man charged with killing his much-older socialite wife inside their northwest Washington home is due in court.
A status conference is scheduled for Friday in D.C. Superior Court for Albrecht Muth.
Muth is charged in the fatal beating and strangulation of 91-year-old Viola Drath, a German-born socialite and journalist, at their home. He has denied guilt and initially claimed his wife died of a head injury from a fall.
Muth also claims to be a general in the Iraqi army, but prosecutors say he's fabricating his military experience. He claimed in November that his wife's death was a "hit" ordered by Iranian agents.
