Police in Bellevue are investigating a murder after a man in his 70’s walked into a police station late Friday night and told officer’s he killed his wife two days earlier.
Police say they went to a home at 144 159th Ave. SE where they found the deceased woman.
Spokeswoman Carla Iafrate says the man was arrested for investigation of murder. Neither he nor the woman was immediately identified, although the spokeswoman said both were born in 1940.
Iafrate declined to discuss how the woman was killed and said there is no apparent motive yet.
The couple reportedly had a dispute several years ago that resulted in the wife filing for a restraining order, but that had apparently been resolved.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
