BURKE CO., N.C. -- Deputies arrested a Burke County man after his wife's body is found in a creek.
David Hunt confessed to Eyewitness News he shot his wife Sherry.
Hunt said, "I'm just so sorry about it. I can't handle it. I just killed the one I loved more than anything."
Landscapers found his wife's body Friday in a McDowell County creek. She had been shot multiple times. At first authorities only called Hunt a person of interest, but the estranged husband told Eyewitness News he pulled the trigger.
"Yeah, I sure did, but I didn't mean to. I mean the first shot, it was an accident. And then after that I just went berserk," Hunt said. Hunt also said he was so upset about what he did, he thought about killing himself. Instead he left the murder scene.
The sheriff found him at his parents home. He said Hunt walked out, broke down and confessed the crime.
On his way to jail, Hunt said he has already found forgiveness for killing her. "God's done forgiven me for it. I'm a saved man. I'm going through hell right now, but the Lord's going to take me to heaven some day, so don't anybody worry about that. I'll go to heaven," Hunt said.
