Kastner Charged With First Degree Murder

A Tulsa man accused of killing his wife is now charged with first degree murder. Police arrested John Kastner last week. They say he's lied to them ever since he called 911 and told police an intruder broke into their home and killed his wife and shot him in the hand.

Detectives think Kastner had also been lying to family and friends for months about his finances and when it all started to collapse around him, he murdered his wife as a distraction.

It is not yet known if prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Kastner.
