DELTA, Millard County — A 46-year-old woman was taken into custody Saturday after she reportedly called the Millard County Sheriff's Department and confessed to shooting and killing her husband.

Sheriff Robert Dekker said his deputies arrived at the couple's Delta home shortly after 11:20 a.m. and found the body of 49-year-old Martin James Sessions in the back yard.

The victim's wife, Carole Elizabeth Sessions, 46, was booked into the Millard County Detention Center in Fillmore for investigation of murder, the sheriff said.

The man's body was taken to the state Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy.
