Man Accused of Killing Pregnant Wife | Denver News

A Denver man, 41, is in custody after allegedly killing his 39-year-old pregnant wife in their backyard — a chilling case that unfolded after he called 911 claiming he needed help, only to later confess he’d given medication to children and acted to “protect the world.” Neighbors say he’d left and returned the day before, leaving blood droplets behind. Children at the home told police of abuse, including a father hitting their mother with a toy and her warning the night before she’d be killed. The cause of death remains pending autopsy, but charges include first-degree murder, unlawful termination of pregnancy, and child abuse. He’s set for court Friday.
