Baltimore Man Arrested In Wife's Killing

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Baltimore police have arrested a man in his wife's stabbing and bludgeoning death.

Police said Tuesday that 66-year-old Nathaniel Harris was arrested and charged with murder in the death of 71-year-old Peggy Harris.

Police say they found Peggy Harris bleeding from multiple stab wounds and other injuries in her northwest Baltimore home early Sunday morning after responding to a call from the couple's son. They say Nathaniel Harris had also called police to report stabbing his wife and was covered in blood.

Peggy Harris was pronounced dead at the scene. Police recovered two bloody knives and a small bloody copper statue.

Police say Nathaniel Harris admitted to killing his wife, saying she had been cheating on him with two to three other men.

It's unclear if he has an attorney.
