NC man says girlfriend self-inflicted fatal injuryGREENVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A Pitt County man charged with murder says his girlfriend set herself on fire before shooting herself in the head. The Greenville Daily Reflector reports (bit.ly/LIpFob) that state investigators testified in Superior Court on Thursday that the charred remains of 51-year-old Teresea Derr Foster contained gasoline. Foster's body was found in 2009 behind a home she shared with her 57-year-old fiancé Clinton Arthur Ridenour north of Greenville. A sheriff's detective says a red gasoline can was found on the couple's front porch swing. Ridenour is charged with the first-degree murder and faces life in prison without parole if he is convicted. Ridenour maintains his innocence and says Foster's fatal injuries were self-inflicted. ___ Information from: The Daily Reflector, http://www.reflector.com |
