WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A man was arrested Friday after his father was found dead, and police say he confessed to killing him in a disturbing manner.
West Valley City Police said they responded to 4700 S. 4675 West in West Valley City. The person who called said they saw 46-year-old Jeremy Ross Pulver fleeing the scene, and as he did so, he told them that he beat his dad to death. Officers and first responders then found Jeremy's father, John Culver, and confirmed that he was dead.
Jeremy was later found and taken into custody. Police said they interviewed him and he admitted to killing his dad. Jeremy said he was staying with his dad since Wednesday, and he said his dad expressed that he wanted to die. Then on Friday, according to police, Jeremy"worked up the confidence to kill" John. He told police that he initially tried to suffocate his dad with a rag and a plastic bag, but his dad fought back. Then, he said he grabbed a hatchet and bludgeoned his dad with it, hitting him in the head multiple times.
Police added that the crime scene appeared to match Jeremy's account of what happened, and he told them where the hatchet was.
