A judge ordered an 80-year-old Baltimore man accused of strangling his wife held without bail at a hearing Wednesday morning.
Police said they found Philip Reid choking his wife, Glennie, 83, Monday night in the couple's Edmondson Village home. He was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree assault Tuesday night.
According to police, the couple's daughter said she drove her father to the house and waited in the car, unaware of what he had planned. She said she heard screams and called police, who forced open the door.
Friends and neighbors said the couple had lived at the home and been married at least 47 years.
