Police: Phoenix man arrested, accused of killing his husband

Police in Phoenix said a man has been arrested in connection with the death of his husband.

They say 24-year-old Yacoub Aranda is jailed on a $250,000 bond on suspicion of first-degree murder.

Authorities say 22-year-old Andrew Aranda suffered severe head trauma and allegedly was beaten to death with a hammer.

Police responded to a home about 10 p.m. Saturday about a possible drug overdose.

Officers say the victim was declared dead at the scene and the suspect had several deep cuts on his left arm.

Yacoub Arana was taken to a hospital for treatment and arrested Sunday.

It was unclear Monday if he has a lawyer yet.
