The 51-year-old school teacher was found slumped over in the front seat of her car with a bullet wound.

Krewson was inside the home, laying on a couch with a single, allegedly self-inflicted gun shot wound to his face.

Then ambulance paramedic, Mark Wilkerson, told the jury he asked Krewson “Who is the lady in the car?”

He replied “My wife. I shot her.”

Wilkerson’s paramedic partner, Colleen Parkes, testifed Krewson became very apologetic after finding out Stewart was dead, saying several times he was sorry.

Police found a handgun and pool of blood outside the carport at the hobby farm.

The trial continues Thursday afternoon.
