KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kentucky man who served as a minister in his Amish church has confessed to fatally poisoning his wife nine years ago while working as a cabinetmaker in rural Missouri, authorities say.

Samuel Borntreger, 39, of Summer Shade, Kentucky, was charged Monday with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, Anna Yoder Borntreger. Her body was exhumed Tuesday from an Amish cemetery in Missouri.

Court records allege Borntreger went to authorities in Barren County, Kentucky, on Sunday and told them he put antifreeze in her drinks and battery acid in her rectum before her death in late 2006. Authorities provided no further details.

Borntreger is jailed without bond in Kentucky awaiting extradition to Missouri. No attorney is listed for him in online court records, and attempts to reach relatives for comment were not immediately successful.

1. Battery acid in her rectum?

2. She must have been unable to move from a stroke or something. Damn that's sick

3. Antifreeze is sweet tasting - its why parents are warned to keep it away from children and pets

The antifreeze may have incapacitated her enough to do the battery acid thing.

Very sick.
