Original: Deputies arrested a 36-year-old suspect in connection with two murders that happened within hours of each other, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said.
Michael Morales is facing two charges of murder after confessing to the murders of another man and his common-law wife, Salazar said.
An argument ensued between the suspect and the victim, which then escalated to a struggle between the two, the sheriff said.
Morales did not sleep in his home, but he showed up Tuesday morning and discussed what had happened hours before with his common-law wife, Salazar said.
The woman, 45, became irate after hearing about the murder and an argument ensued between her and Morales, Salazar said.
