A murder suspect told police in Colorado he strangled his pregnant wife in a rage after he saw her on a baby monitor strangling the couple’s 3-year-old daughter, Celeste, according to court documents.

Chris Watts said the couple’s other daughter, Bella, 4, was already “sprawled out” on her bed and blue in the couple’s bedroom, according to an arrest affidavit from Frederick police.
