A doctor from Dover, Massachusetts, accused of killing his wife five years ago was found guilty Thursday of voluntary manslaughter.
Ingolf Tuerk was also charged with first-degree murder in the 2020 death of Kathleen McLean, whom he is accused of strangling and dumping in a pond. But the jury found him guilty of the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter in the first degree instead.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on May 16.
“Essentially, he’s walking out scot-free,” said Richard McLean, Kathleen’s brother. “It’s a shame the whole thing took five years for us to get to this point, to walk away extremely disappointed.”
McLean’s family says that she is not getting justice, and that Tuerk got away with murder.
