Evil Mohammad Alkurdi, 38, did not try to resist as he was seized outside the family apartment in the city of Chandler, in the US state of Arizona, on 14th March.
Police tried to revive the mum of four but to no avail.
A neighbour told police how he had seen Alkurdi – a citizen of Jordan – walking out of the home. Chillingly, Alkurdi had simply told him, “I shot her”, before strolling away.
Crime scene investigators recovered a firearm from inside the residence. They said two shots were fired, but it is not clear if both or just one hit the victim.
Alkurdi, said police, had only bought the weapon two days before the alleged murder and had purchased the bullets just hours prior to the shooting.
He is reported to have a history of domestic violence, with police telling how he once threatened his wife with a knife.
Alkurdi was remanded in custody shortly after his arrest. He has since been charged with one count of first-degree murder and could face child endangerment charges.
