Ova was killed by an acquaintance, John Green, who was tried and convicted then found to be insane. He had suffered a head injury years before and complained often of headaches and hearing water rushing in his head. He had periods of despondency. Despite the newspaper accounts of his being in love with Ova their families insist it was not true and that newspaper accounts of enmity between their families was also untrue.
