Chief Deputy Dale Ward says Tremonton police arrived at a home in Box Elder County on Sunday and found a 53-year-old woman who had been stabbed to death. She was identified as Maria De Jesus Cervantes.
At the scene, officers also found a 39-year-old man suffering from a knife wound to the neck. Identified as Jose Guiterrez-Torres, he was taken to a hospital, stabilized and transported to another hospital for surgery.
Police say that Guttierez-Torres had stabbed Cervantes and then turned the knife on himself. He will be taken to the Box Elder County Jail once he’s released from the hospital.
