Pittsfield Township — A former Eastern Michigan University math lecturer was arraigned Sunday with one count of murder in connection with the death of his wife, police said.
Jean Pierre Trias, 44, was arrested on Friday after police responded to someone calling for a welfare check in the 4700 block of Hickory Pointe Boulevard, according to the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety.
When they arrived, police found his wife, Katherine Kellogg Porter, 53, dead inside the home.
Matt Harshberger, director of public safety, declined to reveal the manner in which Kellogg Porter died. But he said that Trias was at the home when police arrived.
"There were clear indicators and evidence from a comment he made and our observations that caused us to take him into custody for what was clear to us was a homicide," Harshberger said.
Harshberger was unaware whether there was a history of domestic violence between the couple.
