WASHINGTON (AP) — A German-born man charged with killing his socialite wife in their Georgetown home has resumed his hunger strike.

According to The Washington Post (http://tinyurl.com/8l92tlf), psychiatrists at St. Elizabeths Hospital wrote in a letter filed to D.C. Superior Court this week that 48-year-old Albrecht Muth has stopped eating and had to be taken to an emergency room three times this month. Muth is charged with murder in the death of 91-year-old Viola Drath last August.
