Anaheim, CA: Anaheim man accused of killing wife on Christmas Day

A 30-year-old Anaheim man has been arrested in connection with the Christmas Day slaying of his wife, police said.

William Wallace was arrested on suspicion of murder late Sunday and booked into the Orange County jail, said Sgt. Bob Dunn of the Anaheim Police Department.

Dunn declined to release the name of the victim or say how she was killed. He said investigators were awaiting the results of an autopsy, which they hope to have within the next few days.

Police were called to the 200 block of Laxore Street in Anaheim about 9:20 a.m. Sunday regarding a woman in need of medical attention, Dunn said.

He declined to say who called 911 or whether there were any witnesses to the alleged crime. Dunn said the victim was pronounced dead shortly after arrival at a local hospital.
