Suspect in estranged wife’s death in Millcreek arrested while confessing crime to a TV station

Police arrested a man suspected of using a crowbar to kill his estranged wife and injure their teen daughter in Millcreek Wednesday morning — apparently while he was on the phone with a Salt Lake City TV station, confessing to the crime.

Officers from the Unified Police Department are investigating the death of a woman near the River Bend Apartments, near 850 West and 3900 South in Millcreek, FOX 13 reported. Their daughter was in critical condition after the attack.

Marc Sternfield, news director for FOX 13, KSTU-TV, said in an email to The Salt Lake Tribune that the suspect called the station about 9 a.
