An Arkansas woman has been charged with capital murder after she admitted to fatally shooting her husband because he repeatedly purchased video pornography.

Patricia Hill, 69, called 911 on Saturday afternoon around 3pm in Jefferson County to report that she had shot her husband Frank, 65, according to a police statement.

Responding deputies found Patricia in the backyard and immediately detained her.

Frank's body was found on the floor of a shed on the property, having suffered at least two gunshot wounds to the leg and head.

Patricia Hill, 69, called 911 to report that she'd shot her husband Frank, 65, on Saturday afternoon in Jefferson County, Arkansas. Frank was later pronounced dead at the hospital

Paramedics transported Frank to the hospital where he was pronounced dead around 3.15pm.

Patricia was taken into custody, where she waived her rights and agreed to speak with investigators.

She revealed that while she and Frank had never had any physical altercations, they had recently gotten into a disagreement when she noticed he had purchased pornographic videos through their cable provider.

Patricia cancelled that order but later discovered Frank had placed it again.

'Mrs Hill stated that she entered the shed and asked her husband to leave but he refused. Mrs Hill admitted that she then returned inside the residence, where she armed herself with a .22 caliber pistol.

'She went back to the shed a short time later, where she entered and shot her husband twice, striking him once in the leg and once in the head.

'Immediately following the shooting, Mrs Hill stated that she returned inside the residence, where she returned the weapon and called 911 to report the shooting.'

Hill is currently being held without bail Saturday at the Jefferson County jail.
