CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The wife of a U.S. Army veteran was found guilty for her connection to her husband's murder in 2022, officials said.

After a three-day trial, a jury found Theary Lim guilty of first-degree premeditated murder on Wednesday, April 30, for the shooting death of her husband — Sothon In.

In, 38, was found deceased in the family's Clarksville home in the 2200 block of Ladd Drive on Jan. 3, 2022. According to District Attorney General Robert Nash, In was found with a single gunshot wound to his head. He added that Lim and the couple's two young children were also at the home when the shooting occurred.

While being questioned by officers with the Clarksville Police Department, Lim reportedly said the shooting was an accident. In addition, News 2 previously reported that Lim allegedly told a detective that she was lying next to In in bed while playing with a handgun when it fired.

However, Nash said surveillance video showed Lim lock the front door of the home at 12:15 p.m. and close the living room blinds with what appeared to be the murder weapon in her hand immediately after the surveillance footage captured the sound of a single gunshot. Lim was reportedly seen unlocking the door at 12:59 p.m.

In a 2022 interview with News 2, In's brother said Sothon wanted to join the U.S. Army from a young age and was deployed at least three times to the Middle East.

After the jury read the verdict Wednesday, Judge Robert Bateman sentenced Lim to life with the possibility of parole.
