Shortly after killing his wife, Texas a man called 911 to admit that he killed his wife, according to the police.
Christopher Paul Robertson, 33, said in documents from the Fort Worth Police Department that “My father-in-law is going to kill me.”
Records show he was arrested Sunday and is being held on a $100,000 bond for murdering Kristlynne Robertson, 34.
Officers stated that they were already in the middle of an investigation, with the defendant’s brother being a key witness. The brother had been away from the residence for several days before returning on Friday, according to the police.
“When he returned today, he observed Christopher extremely intoxicated inside the house,” authorities said. “He then saw Christopher walk into his bedroom at which time [the brother] smelled a strong foul odor.”
The brother allegedly saw something in the bedroom that prompted him to look inside, where he found sister-in-law Kristlynne wrapped in a tarp, officers said.
The brother removed Christopher Robertson from the home, called for police and medical help, and secured the handgun from the defendant’s room, according to documents. The brother later surrendered the firearm to the police.
Responding officers located Kristlynne in the far south bedroom of the residence. She had been wrapped in a tarp, was shirtless, and had been shot in the face.
“I briefly met with Christopher Robertson, but he was too intoxicated to understand what I was saying or provide a meaningful response,” the affiant wrote.
Officers obtained a search warrant for the residence early Saturday morning. Later that day, at 12:41 p.m., Christopher Robertson allegedly called 911 and confessed:
- “My father-in-law is going to kill me.”
- “I actually killed his daughter.”
- “I killed his daughter.”
Detectives said they met with Robertson at the home on Sunday. He allegedly told them he shot his wife and expressed a desire to go to jail.
“Christopher Robertson also handed us a gun that he had on his person and stated that it was the gun that he used to shoot his wife,” they wrote.
