"I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet."
Earlier in the novel, we saw Justine get killed because a jury deemed her the murderer of William. Even though she was convicted, Victor somehow knew all along that it was the creature who was the true murderer. Now, as the creature tells his story we see that it was the creature, not Justine, who killed William. Creature also put William's locket on Justine, which was a key part of why she lost her trial. This infuriates Victor and he demands the death of the creature. Frankenstein also takes creature's threat the wrong way. When the creature tells Victor he will be with him on his wedding night, Victor believes he will be killed then. However, the creature means that he will kill his wife, Elizabeth, and he keeps his promise and strangles her.
