A Phoenix man killed his wife, two kids and friend over suspicions of an affair, officials said this week.
A Phoenix man is charged with four murders and multiple assaults after allegedly killing his wife, two of their children and a friend over apparent suspicions that his wife was having an affair with his brother -- who was not among the victims, officials said this week.
Police said they apprehended Smith, 30, fleeing that scene. Once in police custody, he allegedly led authorities to the scene of an even more horrific crime -- at his own home. Their 7-year-old daughter, Mayan Smith, died from apparent blunt-force trauma, allegedly by the use of a bat, according to the Associated Press."It is from my understanding that he elected not to shoot the 3-years-old [3-year-old], she was under the bed when officers got to her," said Thompson.
