UPDATED 12:30-p.m.) WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Wichita, Kansas police, say the husband of a 37-year-old woman whose body was found in a dumpster has been arrested in Iowa. An Iowa State Trooper who is a member of the Iowa State Patrol’s Vehicle Theft Unit checked the license plate of a vehicle in a business parking lot in Davenport, that was confirmed stolen out of Wichita, Kansas. Shortly thereafter, 30 year old Donnell Stafford, of Wichita, was taken into custody without incident. He was being held in the Scott County Jail pending extradition back to Wichita on the charge of murder in the first degree.

Authorities in Kansas says Leuh Moore was killed early Sunday at her Wichita home. Her body was put in the dumpster less than a mile away. The couple had a history of domestic violence, according to officials, but the investigation is continuing. Investigators believe the suspect took to the couple’s 7-year-old son to a relative’s house after his mother was killed. Two dogs at the home were stabbed and were taken to a vet for treatment.
