Las Vegas police announced an arrest Thursday of a suspect in the stabbing deaths of two women near UNLV.
The Clark County coroner’s office, which identified him Tuesday, said he was 43 years old when he died Feb. 15.
The body of Daniel Halselth, whose daughter has been charged with murder in connection with his death, sustained about 70 stab wounds during the fatal attack and “mutilation,” according to an autopsy report.
A homeless man who was stabbed to death in the south central valley late last month has been identified as Michael Lyndon Patty, 55.
