The wife of a well-known transgender writer has been charged with murdering her father with an ice axe the night of Donald Trump’s election to the presidency. She then allegedly shattered the windows of the $800,000 Rainier Valley, Washington, home in which she and her father lived in what she claimed was an “act of liberation,” according to charging documents.
Corey Burke, 33, who is married to transgender writer Samantha Leigh Allen, the author of “Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States,” was discovered after the death of her father, Timothy Burke, 67 — who had health issues — “smiling and clapping covered in her loved one’s blood, cops said,” according to The New York Post, which added that Burke “allegedly confessed to investigators the next day that she killed her father with the ax and also by strangling him. She also admitted to biting her father while choking him, the docs alleged.”
Timothy Burke “rarely left the house, where the two lived together, according to a Seattle police report … Officers discovered a silver-and-blue ice climbing ax on the floor, with blood on it,” the Seattle Times reported. “‘Corey stated (when) her father started arguing with her about the lights being shut off, that she ‘just freaked out,’ Seattle Detective Azrielle Brikey wrote.”

Court documents reportedly state that Burke, with her face still covered with blood, told police that her father’s murder was meant to “help people change their attachment to their parents” and “had to happen today.”
The Post reported that Burke was upset about the election results and was aware that Trump had won. She allegedly became upset because her father would not turn off the lights, then went upstairs, seized an ice pickaxe, came downstairs where she tripped her father, strangled him, and then used the pickaxe to bludgeon him.
The Post continued:
Burke then sat down next to her father and watched him die, then smashed all the windows in the house in what she described “‘as an act of liberation,’” officers reported. When the cops arrived, they found Burke “clapping … because she was so happy.” … Donald Trump’s election victory “overwhelmed” her and finally pushed this tension to the breaking point, she said.
Charging documents stated that Burke whispered, “I killed him,” to one police officer.
