HOWARD COUNTY, Md. — A 53-year-old man fatally stabs his wife and turns himself in.
The incident occurred on Sunday at 8:13 a.m. in Ellicott City, according to the Howard County Police.
Police would respond to the 3400 block of Huntsmans Run based on a report saying that 53-year-old Alexander Stephenson had stabbed his 47-year-old wife, Amethyst Stephenson.
Alexander left the scene. Amethyst was pronounced dead.
Authorities say the husband and wife were separated as Alexander was not living at the home.
