Lawyer Says Woman Accused Of Living With Dead Husband Not Mentally Fit

Last updated on Monday, June 8, 2015

(LAFAYETTE) - Doctors are evaluating a Lafayette woman who investigators say lived with her dead husband for more than nine months.

Ila Solomon faces nine charges including welfare fraud, theft and failure to report a dead body. But her lawyers say she may not be competent to stand trial.

Police arrested Solomon last May after finding her 88-year-old husband's body inside their home, badly decomposed. Testing determined the man had been dead since July 2013.

Solomon will be back in court next week for another hearing.
