Man who shot wife with crossbow sentenced to life

VIRGINIA BEACH—A Virginia Beach man convicted of killing his wife with a crossbow in 2006 has been sentenced to life in prison.

Kenneth Creamer was sentenced last week in the death of Anna Creamer. A jury convicted the 47-year-old of first-degree murder in June.

Creamer had claimed he accidentally shot the crossbow arrow into his wife’s back while she exercised on a treadmill in their garage as their 11-year-old son played inside.
