When his prayer was not granted there, he and finally appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.<br>Thomas admitted to killing his wife, but &#8216;in self defense,&#8217; according to local media, who quote the suspect as saying Kristina, was killed because she had previously come at him with a knife. <br>He then dismembered her body &#8216;in a panic&#8217;. </p>
