Man accused of threatening to kill wife in front of children
Utah County sheriff's deputies arrived at a house on Kennekuk Circle in Eagle Mountain to check out a report of family problems. According to a police affidavit, the officers saw two girls run from the house, screaming, "He killed my mom."

The woman told officers that the man threatened to kill her, her boyfriend and himself in front of their children. There were five children, ages 4 to 11, in the home at the time.
