LAS VEGAS (TCD) -- A 39-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly cut his wife and beat her to death in their home last week.
According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, on Saturday, March 11, at 10:10 a.m., officers went to the 9100 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard to help medical personnel with a "suspicious death," and located a deceased woman with cuts, burns, and bruises on her body.
Investigators suspected foul play and arrested Anthony Clark on a charge of open murder.
KLAS-TV reports police determined Latonia Clark’s death "did not appear natural." She reportedly had cuts on her face, likely from nail clippers, and it "appeared as though someone had beat her, causing damage to her face." Some parts of her head had been shaved, too.
Anthony Clark allegedly told police that Latonia came home March 10 "all bloody." When he checked on her the next day, she was "not moving."
One family member reportedly told Las Vegas Police they heard Anthony and Latonia arguing and "loud stomping noises" from their bedroom. Another family member reportedly noted hearing "Taser sounds coming from the bedroom."
Anthony reportedly closed the door to the bedroom on his way out. According to KLAS, detectives located a trash bag with human hair and bloody clothing inside of it.
Anthony Clark allegedly "believed he was being set up through his electronic devices," KLAS reports.
Clark County Jail records show Clark also faces charges of child abuse or neglect. He’s being held without bail.
