Wichita, KS: Wichita man pleads guilty in death of woman who was shot in front of her children

WICHITA, Kan. — A Wichita man pleaded not guilty in the death of his wife, who was gunned down in front of her children.

After a preliminary hearing Wednesday, 28-year-old Kishen Woods was bound over for trial for first-degree murder in the death of Antonia Woods-Cratic. She died after being shot last Nov. 12, the couple's second wedding anniversary.

Two Wichita police officers testified that Woods admitted killing his wife, apparently because he was concerned that she would leave him.
