The husband of Jessica Edwards confessed to killing the South Windsor mother on Friday after police used his cell phone location data to find her remains in an East Hartford park nearly two weeks after he falsely reported her missing, new court records show.
Tahj Hutchinson, 22, was held over the weekend on a $1 million bond and was scheduled to be arraigned Monday morning on a first-degree manslaughter charge in Superior Court in Manchester. He may face additional charges, including murder, pending the final results of an autopsy conducted over the weekend, police have said.
Hutchinson told police Edwards died when he pinned her to the ground during a physical confrontation the morning of May 10 after they had argued and fought throughout Mother’s Day weekend, according to his confession detailed in an arrest warrant affidavit released for the first time Monday morning.
