NORFOLK, Va. – A Norfolk man will spend the next 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to murdering his wife in Norfolk Circuit Court on Monday.

Around the time of the murder, first responders received a call for them to check on the welfare of Torn, who was living in the 1600 block of East Bayview Boulevard.
When they arrived, they found a 36-year-old woman dead inside of her home.
Tackett was arrested in Henrico County in the following days.
