Pensioner reported the death of his wife after a brutal massacre, but she survived

In the US state of Utah, 81-year-old Donald Louis Arend almost killed his wife, inflicting numerous stabs on her. After the attack, the pensioner himself called the police and said that he stabbed his wife. However, the staff found the woman alive. The detainee later told investigators that he had been contemplating murder for about a week.

According to the American edition of KSL, citing police documents, the attack occurred in the city of Tuele. The investigation began after the call of the rent to the emergency service. The man told the dispatcher that he killed his wife with a knife.

The police immediately went to the address of the pensioner. Inside the house they found a woman with multiple stab wounds. Despite the severity of the attack, the victim remained alive.

Near the bed, police found a knife with a red handle. Presumably, it was the attacker who struck his wife. The weapons found were recorded in the materials of the investigation.

Special attention of investigators attracted the testimony of the detainee. According to a police document, Arend revealed he continued stabbing his wife until she stopped screaming. After that, the man decided that his wife was dead, and reported the incident to law enforcement officers.

Even more disturbing were his words about preparing for an attack. According to police, the pensioner admitted that he had thoughts about the murder of his wife about a week before the incident. Thus, the investigation considers the version of a premeditated crime, rather than an exclusively spontaneous attack of aggression.

Shortly after 01:00 on October 15, Renda was taken to the Tuele County Jail. He was later charged with attempted aggravated murder. According to local media, the man was detained without the right to release on bail.

The reasons for the attack remain unknown. In the police materials, the contents of which were studied by journalists, the possible motive of the crime is not specified. It is not known whether there have been conflicts between spouses before.

Details of the victim's medical condition after the police arrived were also not disclosed. The woman survived the attack and was found alive.
