Wife's Affair May Be Motive Behind Redmond Murder: Police

REDMOND, WA - The 26-year-old Redmond woman allegedly murdered by her wife last week may have been having an affair, according to reports. Aterraka Scotland, 27, has been charged with second-degree murder in the killing of her wife, Tiffany Scotland.

Tiffany Scotland was found dead in her home along the 18700 block of Northeast 59th Court last Tuesday night. Police arrested her wife the next day. Tiffany Scotland's housemate discovered her body stabbed and rolled up in a carpet, according to reports. The King County Medical Examiner said Friday she died by strangulation.
