The wife of a Missouri Ku Klux Klan leader confessed in court Friday to fatally shooting her husband in their bedroom three years ago.

“I fired both shots that killed my husband,” Malissa Ancona told Judge Wendy Wexler Horn in St. Francois County Circuit Court, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Ancona was sentenced to life in prison for the February 2017 slaying of Frank Ancona Jr. after pleading guilty to second-degree murder, tampering with evidence and abandonment of a corpse as part of a deal with prosecutors.

She even admitted to cleaning up the walls of the couple’s bedroom and disposing of the bloodied bedding before dumping Frank Ancona’s body.

Frank Ancona, 51, who was gunned down on Feb. 9, 2017, before he had asked his wife for a divorce, is described as the imperial wizard of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Malissa Ancona had initially reported her husband missing before his body was discovered by a river near Belgrade, Missouri, days after the shooting.

The woman later claimed that her son, Paul Jinkerson Jr., shot her husband with a 9 mm handgun while he was sleeping and even agreed to testify against him last year.

Jinkerson Jr. faces the same charges as Malissa Ancona, who claimed in court on Friday that her son had no part in the murder, but that he did help clean up the crime scene and dump the body, according to the news outlet.

When asked how the guilty plea would affect Jinkerson’s May murder trial, Jinkerson’s lawyer, Eric Barnhart, responded, “I mean the true killer…” before his sentence was finished by Jinkerson’s father who added: “admitted her guilt today.”

In previous letters from jail, Ancona wrote that she was “under the influence” and could not recall what happened when her husband was shot,” the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

Frank Ancona Jr.’s father, Frank Ancona Sr., told the judge Friday that when he was forced to identify his son’s body he had “no face left.”

He called Malissa Ancona “a terrible wife” and a “piece of [expletive],” as he recalled how he repeatedly asked his son, “Why, why do you stay with her?” the news outlet reported.

A tearful Carolyn Ancona, the victim’s daughter, said: “He didn’t deserve this. No one deserves this.”
