Salt Lake City, UT, October 15, 2026 —
An 81-year-old man was arrested in Tooele, Utah, in connection with the attempted murder of his wife after reportedly calling police and confessing to stabbing her. The woman was later found alive at the couple’s home, according to the information provided.
The summary of the incident does not identify the man or his wife, or give the date and time of the arrest. It also does not specify which law enforcement agency responded, where in Tooele the home is located, or what condition the woman was in when she was found.
The man’s reported call to police and confession are the only details provided about how authorities learned of the stabbing. No further account of the response or the circumstances inside the home was available. The information does not say whether anyone else was present.
Although the arrest was described as being for attempted murder, no information was provided about formal charges, court proceedings, or whether the man remained in custody. The summary also does not describe any statements from police, prosecutors, the man or his wife.
The woman was reported alive after being found at the home. No additional details were provided about whether she received medical care or her subsequent condition. The available account therefore establishes the reported arrest, the alleged stabbing and the discovery of the woman alive, but leaves the timeline and legal status of the case unclear.
