A blood-covered man told authorities he had killed his wife briefly barricaded himself with his two young children Thursday inside a trailer at a mobile home park in the 4300 block of Concord Road in Bellmead.
David Dauzat, 23, was in the McLennan County Jail Thursday evening, charged with murder in death, authorities said.
His wife, Natasha Dauzat, 21, was beheaded and her head was placed in the refrigerator, a source close to the investigation confirmed Thursday afternoon.
Officers from Bellmead and surrounding communities set up a perimeter around the park evacuating other residents from the area, some of whom still remained out of their homes Thursday evening. They then made contact with the man, whom they were able to convince to surrender.
Authorities took custody of the couple’s two children.
