NORWICH, CT – A Norwich man accused of fatally stabbing his pregnant wife has still not been deemed competent to stand trial, The Day reported.
Patrick Antoine, 40, stands accused of stabbing his wife, Margarette Mady, to death while she was pregnant with their baby daughter and lighting their apartment on fire, according to The Day. Antoine later told police he thought Mady a voodoo priestess who intended to sacrifice him.
