Man faces extradition after wife's body found

      TUCSON, Ariz. -- An Arizona man arrested in Las Vegas in his wife's death could be on his way back to Tucson soon if he waives extradition.
      Sean Gary Slater, 25, had been sought since his wife's flower-adorned body was found a week ago in their apartment. Slater was arrested Friday in a Las Vegas casino after a security guard overheard him saying during a telephone call that he was wanted for murder.
      An extradition hearing is set in Clark County District Court, said Phil Roland with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
      Tucson police said Slater has refused to comment on his wife's death but that Tucson officers were to go to Las Vegas this week to question him.
      A former co-worker called police a week ago saying Slater might have killed the woman, according to a search warrant police obtained April 15.
      Inside police found Shirley Taylor-Slater dead in her bedroom.
      An autopsy revealed she had been killed, but police have declined to release the cause of death until they interview Slater.
      Slater, a former cook, was said to have told the former co-worker he had killed his wife and was going camping because he didn't want to spend the rest of his life in jail, police said in an affidavit supporting the search warrant.
