Waukesha man committed after stabbing family members over Coronavirus

December 15, 2020 By Raymond Neupert

A Waukesha man will spend the rest of his life in a mental institute for killing two family members. 

A Waukesha County judge found 36-year-old Adam Roth not guilty because of mental disease or defect for killing his wife and her sister in April because he believed that he needed to save them from COVID-19. Two other people were injured in the attack. 

Attorneys for Roth agreed to the sentence, saying the case was about someone who is suffering in a way “none of us can understand.” Prosecutors in the case had argued that if Roth were released, he would pose a clear risk to either himself or the public.
