A Utah man has been charged with murder, two weeks after he reportedly stabbed his wife to death in front of their two young children — one of whom was wounded while trying to save her mother.
John Weston Erickson, 41, of Midvale, was charged Monday in 3rd District Court with murder, a first-degree felony; child abuse, a second-degree felony; and two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, third-degree felonies. He is being held without bail in the Salt Lake County jail.
Police were called to a home at 115 Settlement Circle in Midvale, where a man was reportedly stabbing his wife. When they arrived, they found “a large amount of blood throughout the residence,” and the body of Utahna Halona Erickson, 41, in the master bedroom, according to charging documents.

Erickson allegedly told police that his wife was dead and “I meant for that.”
“I just f****** snapped,” he told officers, according to the complaint. “One of the sweetest people around took the brunt of my rage.”
