LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB Fox 41) -- Police arrest a man after questioning him about his wife's death.

Robert Mize was in jail court Friday morning and pleaded not guilty to the charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence.

A judge reveals why he said he killed his wife on November 7th: "The defendant described to detectives that he was upset with his wife as she was lying on the couch, and placed his hands on her neck and placed his body weight on her throat, leaning in and possibly squeezing for thirty seconds." Mize was just interviewed by detectives at police headquarters.

An autopsy showed injuries to his wife's neck and throat. Mize's bond is set at $500,000.
