A 60-year-old man is accused of killing his wife of 37 years during a physical dispute in the couple's Long Island home over the weekend. John Gerges, of Merrick, was arrested Sunday in the death of his wife, 58-year-old Marvat Gerges.
Nassau County police said the couple's adult son heard them arguing, apparently because John Gerges was doing work on the kitchen sink at 3 a.m. Saturday.
The 32-year-old son went to work for the day, and when he returned to the home on Lindgren Street in the afternoon, he found his mother unresponsive in her bed.
He called 911, and Marvat Gerges was pronounced dead at the scene.
