Man who thought wife was having an affair killed her, two of their young daughters, and a man: police
1 / 6The home where a body was found murdered is shown Friday, April 12, 2019 in Phoenix Phoenix police say a man has been arrested on suspicion of killing his wife, his two young daughters and a man who the suspect thought was romantically involved with his wife.
Bail was set at $2 million, court records show. A Maricopa County Superior Court sent Smith's case to the local public defender's office. But no specific attorney had been assigned to him by Friday evening. Police initially said that Smith thought that the man who was killed was romantically involved with his wife, but a probable cause statement later filed in court said the suspect thought it was his brother, who was not named in the document, who was having an affair with her. The victim, described as a family friend, told Smith"he was crazy" before Smith killed him.
The court document released later in the evening described Smith punching the older daughter, throwing her to the ceiling and onto the floor, then striking the child's head several times with a baseball bat.
