      +XD3unit Your account isn't exactly accurate. It's believed that if Snuka is indeed guilty, his assault did not directly his wife, but that he caused her to fall and hit her head, which is what resulted in her death. This happened in 1983, but Snuka was never arrested despite the presence of injuries on the wife's body that seemed consistent with spousal abuse. Last year, 32 years after the fact, a grand jury decided to indict him on charges, and he was arrested on Sept. 1 on suspicion of said charges.

    • @ThunderFist1978

      +Armando Perez In 1983, Snuka's wife at the time died after falling in their hotel room and hitting her head. He had called for the ambulance that picked her up, and it was noted at the time that the wife had injuries that were consistent with spousal abuse. Some people suspected that Snuka had killed her, but until last year he was never arrested over the incident. Last year a grand jury decided to indict Snuka on charges, and he was arrested on Sept. 1, 32 years after the fact. Snuka is generally not believed to have killed his wife directly, but he is under suspicion of attacking her and causing the fall that killed her.
