The ex-husband of former US first lady Jill Biden has been arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, officials said on Tuesday.
William Stevenson, 77, was taken into custody on Monday and is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Linda Stevenson, according to a grand jury indictment filed in Delaware.
On 28 December 2025, officers from the New Castle county division of police responded to a reported domestic dispute at the Stevensons’ home, where they found Linda unresponsive in the living room. Officers immediately administered life-saving measures, but were unable to revive her.
