Chris Watts vs. Scott Peterson | Adultery & Murder (Uxoricide)

This video answers the question: Can I take a look at the relationship between adultery and murder, specifically when a husband kills his wife and the husband is having an affair at that time? This relates to cases like Scott Peterson and Chris Watts. I'll talk about those cases and compare and contrast those cases. Also, I will look at how common murder is under these conditions. When a husband kills his wife, this is referred to “uxoricide.”
