A man accused of stabbing a 53-year-old woman to death and turning the knife on himself was booked into jail Friday on murder charges after spending almost a week in the hospital.
Police first encountered Jose Gutierrez-Torres, 39, on March 3, when he answered the door at his home near 9800 W. 10400 North in Bothwell, west of Tremonton. He was covered in blood, according to a probable cause statement.
Police went to the house because Gutierrez-Torres’ brother had called 911 earlier to report a phone conversation he had with Gutierrez-Torres. The brother said Gutierrez-Torres told him he’d done “something stupid” and that he needed help and so did his wife.
