A 44-year-old college professor in Colorado was arrested this week and accused of killing his wife, allegedly beating the older woman to death and claiming that she fell inside the home where their 2-month-old daughter was also found dead.

Nicholas Myklebust, who teaches English at Regis University in Denver, was taken into custody on Monday and is being held for investigation on one count of first-degree murder for the slaying of his wife, authorities announced.

Due to Myklebust’s familial relationship with the two victims, authorities said they will not release their names until they have appropriate time to notify their next of kin.

According to a news release from the Denver Police Department, officers and emergency medical personnel responded on Monday at 6:52 a.m. to a 911 call at a home in the 3200 block of North Syracuse Street. Police said the call came from Myklebust, who told the emergency dispatcher that “he found his wife on the ground bleeding and their infant daughter not breathing.”
