William Stevenson, the former spouse of ex-First Lady Jill Biden, faces grave accusations as Delaware authorities charge him with the murder of his wife, Linda Stevenson. William, 77, was apprehended after an alleged domestic disturbance led to the shocking discovery at their residence.

The tragic event unfolded on December 28 when police responded to reports of unrest, finding Linda, 64, unresponsive in the living room. Despite attempts to revive her, she was pronounced dead. Linda was cherished for her family-oriented nature, as highlighted in her obituary, which omitted mention of her husband.

Stevenson, who played a role in Philadelphia's music scene with the founding of the Stone Balloon venue, remains in custody on a USD 500,000 bail bond for the first-degree murder charge. The situation is under ongoing investigation, and it remains unclear if Stevenson has acquired legal representation.
