UPTON — Maine State Police on Saturday charged a Limington man with murder in the shooting death of his wife last week.
Kelly Winslow Dapolito
Patrick Dapolito, 39, was arrested at the State Police Barracks in Gray at about 5:30 p.m. Dapolito had arranged through his attorney to turn himself in, police said. The suspect was taken to the York County Jail in Alfred. He was scheduled to make his first court appearance on the murder charge Monday in York County Superior Court in Alfred.
Dapolito is charged with killing his wife, Kelly Winslow-Dapolito, 30, at the couple's home on Mike's Way in Limington. Police said the shooting took place on March 16.
Dapolito reported his wife missing the night of March 18. The next day, state police began searching several locations, including her home. They found Winslow-Dapolito's body March 19 on property located off Route 26 in the Oxford County town of Upton. The property is owned by Dapolito's father.
Police interviewed Dapolito the day his wife's body was found and said he had cooperated with the investigation.
The State Medical Examiner's Office said Winslow-Dapolito died from a gunshot wound to the head.
The couple had been married about six months.

I Do Not Understand?
If everything is as what it appears to be,don't both parties have to take responsibility?No one should ever die or be harmed in anyway from disagreement.So who is really to blame?No matter what people think,it takes two parties to fight.At what point should one of them walk and if they do not at what piont does the responsibility lie on who?Iunderstand one thing is that violence never wins.But again it takes two to fight and when that happens someone always loses.I only pray that everyone realizes when enough is enough before something like this happens.

Well...prankster I have been following this story since the beginning in several different media's and everyone has said that he has cooperated. They searched his home, were given information ...not a tip that her body was in Upton. They said he has cooperated and from what I read the other day, it was pretty clear to them who killed her, just need to tie up the loose ends before charging him. I can say, it was most likely heat of the moment stupidity. He turned himself in after speaking with his attorney....pretty sure that in itself shows he is guilty but why did it happen is the question. People are innocent until proven guilty but there are times when they are guilty from the beginning and then try to plea the situation.

What happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty? Oh, that's right; if it's in the news, it's truth. You all are so quick to judge based on what you read. Just one more problem to add to this broken system.
