ISLEWORTH, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida television station reports that a man accused of fatally shooting his wife inside their mansion attended the woman's memorial service this weekend.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a judge had granted Bob Ward's request to attend services for his wife, Diane, in Brevard County. WFTV-TV reported that Ward was spotted at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Viera this weekend.

The couple lived in Isleworth, 1 of Florida's most expensive and prestigious neighborhoods. The secluded community in an Orlando suburb is home to hundreds of mansions and dozens of celebrities.

According to an arrest affidavit, Ward told dispatchers he shot his wife. He faces a second-degree murder charge.
