Residents at the Sunrise of Redmond senior living facility in Bellevue heard screams coming from inside one of the units Monday afternoon and called 911, according to investigators. When officers arrived in the 15200 block of Northeast 20th Street, they forced their way inside the unit and said they found the 86-year-old female victim on the floor, stabbed multiple times in her chest. Her 87-year-old husband who was nearby was handcuffed and arrested on suspicion of homicide.

Bellevue Police Captain Landon Barnwell told 成人X站 7 it is the first murder of the year for detectives. It was also an unusual one. “Assisted living isn’t something we see all the time,” said Barnwell. “The ages are not something we generally see when we’re talking about victims and suspects.”
First responders tried saving the victim, but police say she died at the scene. Investigators say her husband gave himself up without issue.
