Berkeley Grad Killed In Murder-Suicide

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH — A woman was killed by her boyfriend in an apparent murder-suicide in their home in Salt Lake City Sunday night, according to Salt Lake City police.

Officers found the bodies of 27-year-old Sarah Hawley and 30-year-old Travis Geddes after a downstairs neighbor called police at 8:28 p.m. to report yelling and screaming, Salt Lake City police said.

When the officers arrived, it was clear that Geddes had killed Hawley before killing himself, Detective Greg Wilking said. Police are not releasing the cause of death but said that there was a weapon involved.

Police did not say if Geddes had a history of violence.

The two had moved to Salt Lake City over the summer where Hawley was a first-year medical resident at the University of Utah, Wilking said.

She was a graduate of University of California at Berkeley and University of California at San Francisco.
