Arkansas City, KS: Man held on second-degree murder charges in wife's death

ARKANSAS CITY, Kansas – An Arkansas City man is facing charges of second-degree murder in the death of his wife.

William Carson, 62, was arrested over the weekend for the murder of his wife, 68-year-old Terry Carson. William called police Sunday afternoon to report his wife had life-threatening injuries. They arrived to the home to find Terry Carson dead.

William and Terry, a retired teacher, had been married 38 years and had two children. Their son tells KSN their father loved their mother very much and would never have killed her.

Police, however, say William had superficial wounds to his face, neck and hands and there were signs of a struggle inside their home. No other details are being released at this time.

William Carson is currently being held on $500,000 bond. He is set to be arraigned Thursday morning.
