On Tuesday, Dec. 6, Anderson Police officers responded to the Williams home on 11th Street and found the victim deceased in the living room with a laceration wound.

Curtis Williams reportedly told dispatchers, “It was unacceptable,” adding, “I accepted nothing less than death.”

During the fatal attack against Claudette Williams, Curtis Williams allegedly suffered a non-life-threatening laceration believed to have been self-inflicted. Curtis was transported to a hospital for treatment, and the cut on his body was deep enough that it exposed his tendons, muscle, and bone.

Curtis told authorities, “I caught my wife cheatin’.” Curtis reportedly claimed that the other man fled, and he couldn’t catch him.

Curtis’ wife allegedly attacked her husband when he went after the other man. Curtis reportedly said, “I killed her,” and “it was unacceptable.”

The knife believed to have been used in the attack was reportedly recovered from the home with droplets of blood. Authorities reportedly believe the victim was standing in the kitchen when she was fatally stabbed.

Curtis Williams was booked into the Madison County Jail for murder. He is currently being held without bond.
