A Wilmington Island woman was indicted Wednesday on a voluntary manslaughter charge in the slaying of her husband shortly after he returned from a tour of duty in Iraq.
Melaya Carla Sams, 35, caused the death of Michael A. Sams "while acting solely as the result of a sudden, violent and irresistible passion," the Chatham County grand jury determined.
Sams, 36, was shot and wounded at a home in the 100 block of Runner Road on Sept. 4, 2010. He was taken to Memorial University Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Sams had just returned from Iraq where he was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.
