Police say the suspect was at the family's home frequently, but his exact relation to them is still unknown.
CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A Detroit radio news anchor and father of two is dead after an apparent domestic dispute that left his life partner and children injured. The suspect’s relationship to the family is not yet clear.
Police forced their way inside, where they found 57-year-old Jim Matthews dead, an injured 10-year-old boy bound and beaten in a closet and the alleged suspect, who was overdosing and had self-inflicted wounds, in the basement. “There have been many tears shed in our newsroom today and Jim will be greatly missed… Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jim’s family and friends during this difficult time,” said the station in part in a statement.
“He was welcomed into the home initially. From that point, it’s still too early to really go into what happened,” said the township’s Director of Public Safety Brian Bassett.
