NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A man accused of stabbing his wife to death after she received roses from a Philadelphia sportscaster pleaded guilty Thursday to third-degree murder.
Raymond Stumpf, a 54-year-old suburban Philadelphian known locally as “Mr. Telemart” for his cable TV home-shopping program, could get up to 24 years in prison at sentencing Sept. 29.
Stumpf was accused of nearly decapitating Marlene Stumpf, 47, with a kitchen knife Jan. 20 upon learning she had been sent a dozen roses by another man, later determined to be radio and TV personality Howard Eskin.
