Update: Police have released the names of the three people killed in Layron. Three of the family's dogs were also killed.

After what he called a “brief argument” with his wife, a Layton man called 911 Friday morning to report that he had killed her and her visiting parents, police said.

Inside the house, the statement said, officers found three bodies: the suspect’s wife, Anastasia Stevens, 36; Anastasia’s stepmother, Becky Stevens, 61; and Anastasia’s father, Donald Stevens, 73. The man had called 911 at about 9:45 a.m. from his home in the 1800 block of Gentile Ave., police said. Duane Porter, who lives next door to the couple’s house, said he didn’t hear any shots fired.“They were trying to find someplace to hide [and] I let them in the house. And I came back out — I’m just in my bathrobe — and I hollered at a policeman, and I asked him what he wanted me to do with these girls. He says, ‘Just keep them safe. Take them behind your house and hide them.

Anastasia Stevens’ father and stepmother “come and spend a lot of time with them,” Wixom said. “Last I knew, they weren’t living there. But they’ve seemed to be there a lot lately. Last I knew they lived in Vegas, and then they would just come here for weeks at a time.”

Australian police Taser 95-year-old with dementia as she approached them with steak knife and walkerA 95-year-old woman was in critical condition Friday, two days after police shocked her with a stun gun as she approached them with a walking frame and a steak knife in an Australian nursing home. The extraordinary police takedown of dementia sufferer Clare Nowland on Wednesday in the New South Wales state town of Cooma has prompted a high-level police internal investigation. Two police officers went to Yallambee Lodge, a nursing home that specializes in residents with higher care needs including dementia, after staff reported that Nowland had taken a serrated steak knife from the kitchen. Police Assistant Commissioner Peter Cotter declined to say on Friday whether he thought police had used excessive force.
