John Tabutt told police he seized his gun because he thought he heard someone in his Florida home.

Thinking his live-in partner was in bed, the 62-year-old fired at a figure in a dark hallway.

He discovered too late he struck Nancy Dinsmore, also 62, who he was due to marry the very next day.

Tabutt called 911 in the early hours of Friday, moaning and sobbing, according to local newspaper reports.

"I thought I had an intruder in the house," he told the emergency operator. "Honest to God, she looks dead."

A "distraught" Tabutt stood by while his fiancée was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, according to police.

He has not been charged with any offence and officers said everything pointed to a tragic accident.

The couple planned to wed in a small ceremony at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Florida's Winter Springs, Ms Dinsmore's son-in-law Scott Sposato told the Orlando Sentinel.

"They loved each other," he said. "It was quite apparent."

Guns don't kill people, fiance's do.

If that happened over here he would get a longer term in prison than some people that deliberately set out to murder.

Yes, but no-one knows yet he didn't deliberately set out to murder. Surely if he knew her well enough to propose, he knew her well enough to recognise her shape in the hall. I reckon he did it for the insurance money.

I've always been very careful not to take out life insurance, meself. No use putting temptation into anyone's way. :wink:

the policy I've got pays out a lot more for critical illness/disability etc. It's an old one but you wouldn't get the type of premioms I pay for it these days!! At least 5 or 6 times the amount I pay!!! The life insurance part of it isn't a great deal really. That bit is taken care of under my final salary pension scheme which has a death in service benefit which pays up a hell of a lot. Mind you I'm surprised she hasn't had me bumped off already!!!

She has, this is the afterlife - Pools results prove this is hell.

It might not be hell, but karma. We're being punished for misdeeds in a previous life, when perhaps we committed the grave sin of being darlo supporters. :shock:

I've been accused of many things before, but I'm not going to take that. rage

OK...what's your explanation? :wink:

It might have been that membership of the Ku Klux Klan?

if you're on about the spots that keep appearing - they don't move as such - one appears as soon as the old one disappears
