ODESSA (July 28, 2010)—Jan David Clark, 63, the husband of a Texas woman who died while he claims he was performing an exorcism on her, said in a jailhouse interview he shouldn't have tried the exorcism alone.
The Odessa American reported Wednesday that Clark said in the jailhouse interview that he regrets attempting the 2008 exorcism without help and said that a group exorcism would have been more appropriate.
Authorities arrested Clark after they found Susan K. Clark's body wrapped in a sheet with a cross and sword on top of it on the floor of the master bathroom of the couple’s home.
An autopsy report said she died of suffocation.
Clark, who told the newspaper he "did not willingly" kill his 59-year-old wife, is scheduled to stand trial in September for murder.
He’s held in lieu of $300,000 bond, according to online jail records.
