GOP Election Official Charged with Murdering Tenant by Shooting Him Four Times, Then ‘Rambling’ to Police That He Was ‘Driving Me Nuts’

A Republican election official in Connecticut is charged with murdering a tenant by reportedly showing up with a gun and shooting him four times in the torso. The official, however, may be poising herself to claim self-defense.

The department said that Ellen Wink, 61, of a neighboring address at 18 Nelson Avenue, had been arrested and charged with murder. The “disturbance” was between Wink and a male victim; the male victim had “sustained multiple gunshot wounds,” the police reiterated.

Wink’s bond was set at $1 million; a court date was scheduled for Feb. 1, 2022.

The victim was subsequently identified as Kurt Lametta, 54. Prosecutors during a brief Friday arraignment identified Lametta as Wink’s tenant, the Stamford Advocate reported.

the nuttier you have to be. The GOP is becoming the anti-social Party and a general threat to sane folks.

Wink may claim self defense. She reportedly told a 911 dispatcher that Lametta “came” at her when she went to his apartment to clean. It’s unclear why she believed she could enter Lametta’s apartment.

Most republicans are sociopaths,narcissitic or authoritarians.

They have skeletons in thier closets,much of it criminal,abuse or perverted.
