A bankrupt construction company owner accused of beating his wife to death, hiding her body in a pool before going to Applebee's as an alibi has reportedly taken a plea deal in the case.
Norman F. Long pleaded guilty to an amended charge of first-degree aggravated manslaughter after his wife Michelle, 47, was found floating in the backyard pool of the $500,000 New Jersey home they shared in June 2017.
Long had been charged with murder and Gloucester County prosecutors are now recommending a 15-year sentence, nj.com reports.
He is due to be sentence May 3 after charges of tampering with evidence and obstruction were dropped under the deal.
Long's attorney, David Bahuriak Jr., said: 'It was the result of a sudden provocation, intoxication and a number of mental health issues all converging in a perfect storm.
'He wishes he could take it back. The best that he can do is accept responsibility and ask for forgiveness.'

An autopsy determined that the cause of her death was not drowning, but instead blunt force trauma after Michelle was found floating in the backyard pool, pictured, of the $500,000 New Jersey home the couple shared in June 2017
An autopsy determined that the cause of Michelle's death was not drowning, but instead blunt force trauma.
On the day of her murder, police say Long, who owned Long Construction Company, returned to their home in Gloucester County after picking up takeout food from Applebee's.
He is then said to have called 911 and pretended he discovered his wife of 15 years body in the pool when he returned.
When first responders arrived, he told them she had drowned, according to cops.
Prosecutors say Norman, who had filed for bankruptcy, and their neighbors were performing CPR on Michelle when investigators arrived to the scene.
Michelle was said to have been leaving her husband and was looking at homes for sale on the computer in the moments before she was killed.

Neighbors told officials that the husband became combative while others performed CPR on Michelle. At one point, he even had to be restrained.
She was pronounced dead a short time later at the scene, as a small dog was also found in the bottom of the pool dead.
Her daughter Brittany Maguire, who has no biological relation to Norman, said: 'She was definitely the best mom and she did not deserve this at all. We are all broken without her.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
