In an interview with police, David Angle said he and wife were in the living room at about 3 a.m. this morning when she offered him some vodka, county homicide Detective Scott Towne wrote in a criminal complaint. He told her he didn’t want any, but she continued to “badger him about drinking with her,” and it escalated into an argument, the complaint continued.

“He said all of their arguments revolved around alcohol and added that he has ‘anger issues,'” the detective wrote.

After his wife tried to kick him, he “grabbed both of her arms, pulled her off the couch, put his foot on her chest and then pulled,” the complaint said. He told police he couldn’t recall how long he did that but said “it was not for minutes.”

He told police she became unconscious and he tried unsuccessfully to revive her before calling 911.

The article also notes that Kurt and his family have asked for privacy during this difficult time.

As noted, Kurt Angle’s brother David Angle has been charged with murdering his wife, and Kurt issued the following statement via Twitter:

“This has been a very trying time for everyone in my family. We ask that you respect our privacy to mourn our loss. I love my family very much and will support them every way I can. Thank you.”
