San Ramon Man Held In Christmas Eve Murder Of Wife
(BCN) SAN RAMON Contra Costa County sheriff's deputies have arrested the husband of a 33-year-old woman who was murdered in her San Ramon home on Christmas Eve, a death coroner's investigators concluded was the result of strangulation.
According to Contra Costa County Sheriff's Lt. Steve Warne, Renee Farnsworth was strangled to death just after 7:30 p.m. on Sunday inside the home she shared with her husband in the 2200 of Promontory Circle.
Police arrested Thomas Farnsworth, her 37-year-old husband, after arriving at the home on a medical emergency call. A coroner's investigation determined that she died from strangulation and the sheriff's department is holding Thomas Farnsworth on suspicion of murder.
The Contra Costa County district attorney's office has yet to file formal charges.
According to Warne, investigators have a good idea of what happened leading up to the alleged murder but they cannot release details, as they don't want to compromise an ongoing investigation.
The couple did not have any kids, Warne said.
