A disturbing turn of events has unraveled in Detroit as a man in his late 60s is now in custody following the confession of a fatal assault on his wife. According to CBS News Detroit, the individual walked into the city's 11th precinct around 4:30 a.m. yesterday and informed the officers on duty that he had tragically ended his wife's life with a sword.

Following the confession, Detroit police promptly dispatched officers to the couple's residence located on Conley Street near Seven Mile Road. Upon arrival, the police found the door unsecured and proceeded to enter the home, where they found the deceased woman in an upstairs bedroom.
