A Muslim woman from the Philadelphia suburbs has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder for killing her bigamist husband.

Forty-eight-year-old Myra Morton pleaded guilty Friday morning in Montgomery County Court.

Morton shot her 47-year-old husband, Jereleigh, twice in the head last August. The killing happened only hours before he was to leave for Morocco to visit his new, second wife.

Prosecutors and Morton's own attorneys say she was upset that her husband wanted to have children with the younger woman.
