WHITE CLOUD, Mich. (WOOD) — A woman has been charged with the murder of her husband in a 2015 murder-attempted suicide near Sand Lake. 
 
 Glenna Duram was arraigned Thursday in a White Cloud courtroom for first-degree murder in connection to the death of her husband Martin Duram. She is being held in Newaygo County Jail without bond. 
 
 Martin was shot five times and killed in his home on 128th Street in Ensley Township in May 2015. His second wife, Glenna, survived a bullet wound to the head. 
 
 The prosecutor told 24 Hour News 8 that he has not ruled using a parrot who allegedly witnessed the murder as evidence. 
 
 Family members of Martin say Bud, an African grey parrot, seems to replay the murder — mimicking what sounds like two voices, a male and a female, in argument. 
 
 “Don’t f—ing shoot,” the bird says on a video that the family says it took several weeks after the shooting.

 NEWAYGO COUNTY, Mich. — More than a year after a man was found shot to death at his home in Sand Lake, murder charges have been filed against his wife. 
 
 Glenna Duram was charged Thursday with first-degree murder and felony firearm possession. She is being held without bond, accused of killing her husband Martin "Marty" Duram May 13, 2015 at their home in Sand Lake. 
 
 Marty was shot five times, including once in the head. He was dead at the scene. Glenna was critically injured at the scene as well. 
 
 According to Marty's parents, Charles and Lillian, it stemmed from a domestic fight that got out of hand. 
 
 "No matter what happens I lose, I lost a son and I’m gonna lose a daughter-in-law," said Charles Duram. "But when I wake up in the morning my wife ain’t crying and asking for justice, I can live with that." 
 
 Duram's parents told FOX 17 in October 2015, apparent suicide notes were found in the days after the killing, allegedly written by Glenna in the couple's home. A handgun believed to be the murder weapon was also found. 
 
 There was also an unlikely alleged witness to the crime, Duram's pet parrot named Bud who's now living with his ex-wife, Christian Keller. 
 
 "Bud was mine and Marty’s parrot when we were married," said Keller. "He ended up keeping bud for the 15 years we have been not married, I got bud back after this situation had happened. Two weeks after the incident, Bud started going into rants I couldn’t explain. Screaming, yelling, and always ending with 'don’t f**** shoot.' I believe with all my heart that those are pretty close to last words of Marty." 
 
 Documents obtained by FOX 17 in October show the couple had a history of gambling and money issues. Just one month before the shooting, they learned their home was being foreclosed on. Police say both Martin and Glenna had children from previous marriages.
– An African grey parrot named Bud may get its day in court after all. Fox 17 reports Glenna Duram was charged with first-degree murder Thursday in her husband Martin Duram's May 2015 death. Martin's family has claimed that his parrot Bud likely witnessed the murder. After Martin was killed, Bud went to live with Duram's ex-wife Christian Keller and “started going into rants … screaming, yelling.” Those rants always ended the same way: "Don't fucking shoot." “I believe with all my heart that those are pretty close to the last words of Marty," Keller says. According to WOOD, the prosecutor in the case hasn't said whether he plans to submit the parrot—which mimics a male and female voice in an argument—as evidence in the murder case. Both Martin and Glenna were found shot in their Sand Lake, Mich., home. Martin had been shot five times, including once in the head. Glenna had also been shot in the head, nearly dying, WZZM reports. In fact, investigators were at the crime scene for an hour before they realized she was alive. Police were unable to interview Glenna for months while she recovered. They eventually charged her based on interviews with her and letters she wrote to her family. "No matter what happens I lose," Martin's father Charles tells Fox. "I lost a son, and I’m going to lose a daughter-in-law. But when I wake up in the morning, my wife ain’t crying and asking for justice. I can live with that."
