A 43-year-old Mira Mesa man whose wife died after he said she fell down a flight of stairs was arrested Thursday night in connection with her death.
David Ditto was taken into custody about 8:45 p.m. outside his Canyon Point Lane home, homicide Lt. Ernie Herbert said.
Karina Ditto, 39, was admitted to a hospital about 12:50 a.m. Saturday in critical condition after her husband called 911 and said she needed medical attention, Herbert said. She died from her injuries Monday at 9:40 p.m.
Officers believed that the circumstances of Ditto’s death were suspicious.
After an autopsy was conducted, the county Medical Examiner’s Office found “unexplained trauma” on her body and determined her death was a homicide, Herbert said.
David Ditto is being held without bail on suspicion of murder. He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday.
