One man is dead and another is in jail, accused of beating his friend to death with a can of soup.
On Saturday, a 14-year-old boy called police to report that the 37-year-old suspect and another man were fighting at the victim’s Castle Dale home. According to a probable cause statement, the boy said the suspect was beating the victim “pretty bad,” and that he believed the victim was dead. When an Emery County Sheriff’s deputy arrived at the home near 100 North and 300 East, the suspect told him the victim was fine, and that the blood on his hands and shoes was his own.
However, the officer found “a lot of blood in the hallway” and the victim “lying face up in a pool of blood.” The victim — whose name has not been released — had no pulse, and appeared to have been “beaten severely. His face and head had been caved in,” according to police — and a “can of soup appeared to be” the weapon the suspect used to kill him.
According to a probable cause statement, the suspect “stumbled” when the sheriff’s deputy arrived, and the officer “had to hold him from falling” because he was “intoxicated.” The 14-year-old told police the suspect and the victim had been drinking together, and the suspect tried to get the boy to drink alcohol with him. The boy said he refused, and the suspect backhanded him, cutting his lip and knocking him to the floor. When the victim tried to intervene, the suspect attacked him.The suspect was booked into the Emery County jail for investigation of murder, child abuse, obstruction of justice and intoxication. He is being held without bail.
The Salt Lake Tribune generally does not name suspects unless they have been formally charged with a crime.
