Escondido police are investigating the fatal stabbing of a woman who was allegedly killed in her sleep by her husband.
Early Sunday morning -- just after 3:30 a.m. -- officials say a 67-year-old man voluntarily walked into the Escondido police station and told officers he had “killed his wife with a knife.”
According to police, the man then sent officers to a specific, undisclosed location where he claimed he had stabbed his wife.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found a woman in her 60s who had been stabbed to death in a bed. Police believe the victim was stabbed while she was sleeping.
No further details have been released regarding the killing, including the names of the suspect and victim.
