Man jailed after police find woman bludgeoned to death

Shoreline police

SHORELINE, Wash. — A 40-year-old Shoreline man who called 911 to report he had killed a woman inside his apartment was arrested after police confirmed her violent death, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.

Casey McNerthney, a spokesperson for Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, says a judge ordered the man held on investigation of homicide and set bail at $5 million on Monday.

The judge said high bail amount was justified because of the extreme violence and cruelty inflicted on the victim and because the killing was intentionally planned.
