A 50-year-old man in Oklahoma is accused of killing his wife, allegedly strangling her to death after she called him "pathetic" and asked for a divorce after 12 years of marriage.

Clifton Wayne Hampton was taken into custody last week and charged with one count of first-degree murder in the slaying of Christina Hampton, records show.
