A retired NYPD cop allegedly brutally shot and killed his criminal investigator wife because of the cost of Christmas, police sources claim.

Tracey Young, 42, was shot seven times in her apartment in Queens, New York, on Saturday night – four times in the torso and three in the face.

Her husband Clarence Cash, 49, a retired Harlem cop, reportedly turned himself into a Manhattan precinct, saying: ‘I just shot my wife’.

‘My wife, she didn’t deserve that,’ he told cops, reported the New York Post. ‘I’m a retired cop. I tried to kill myself, but I couldn’t do it.’

Part-time court guard Cash had just bought Ms Young an expensive Louis Vuitton handbag for Christmas, reported the New York Post.

But Ms Young had threatened to leave him after a fight over money and he reportedly had problems affording her Christmas presents.
