Man weary of money fuss allegedly kills wife

An Opelousas man apparently weary of fussing over money is in custody on a charge of the first-degree murder of his wife.
Hank Moran, 44. is accused of stabbing 56-year-old Constance Moran, multiple times.
Police Chief Perry Gallow said the incident began with a 911 call from the wife.
“The call indicated the victim had been battered by her husband,” Gallow said.
The husband was not at home when officers arrived, but the victim indicated the couple had been fighting about financial issues and he had allegedly tried to choke her, he said.
She told the officers where her husband had probably gone, and the officers left the scene in search of him.
When police returned they found Moran in the bedroom, standing over his wife, who had been stabbed 14 times with a small pocket knife, Gallow said.
Moran didn’t resist arrest but, the police chief said, as Gallow was being placed under arrest, he attempted to swallow a handful of pills in what police believe was a suicide attempt.
While the husband apparently attempted suicide, he showed no other signs of remorse for his alleged actions, Gallow said.
“He told officers, ‘I bet you she will listen to me now,’” Gallow said.
