California man who was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of killing his wife claimed he had been infected with mayonnaise prior to the incident, police say.
Nathaniel Gene Robertson, 46, was
detained by deputies from the Kern County Sheriff's Office after officers responded to a call on the morning of July 11 saying a female victim had received blunt force traumatic injuries at a home in the 300 Block of Sycamore Drive in Oildale.
...During later interviews with police investigators, the man admitted to hitting his wife with a concrete block, according to court records obtained by local media outlet
KGET-TV. Robertson said he was showing mercy and claimed "the alignments were not in place to protect her."
KGET-TV reported the suspect said he was infected by mayonnaise given to him by a group of "powerful" people that could not be identified. When asked if he used drugs, the man allegedly admitted to using "ice"—a term for crystal methamphetamine—to help him breathe.
