A man was arrested after officials said he strangled and beat his wife to death in their Lehi home.
Police responded on Friday to the residence at 671 North Locust Lane, where 85-year-old Ronald Morgan was covered in blood and "made the excited utterance" that he had killed his wife.
The victim was found in their bedroom and appeared to have multiple traumatic injuries, according to court documents. When asked asked to elaborate, "Ronald smirked and stated that he had killed her. Ronald described strangling the victim as well as punching her and stomping on her. Ronald also described grabbing multiple items that he used to bludgeon the victim's head."
Morgan told detectives that prior to killing his wife, he would get "bad thoughts" when he was frustrated with her.
