A 41-year-old Tenn. man is accused by police of killing a teenager he found in bed with his wife.
Jonathan Belk, of Dunlap, is accused of stabbing Billy J. Floyd, 18, to death after coming home and finding Floyd in bed with his 31-year-old wife early Saturday morning, per News Channel 9, citing police.
Belk also allegedly stabbed his wife, Jada Gholston, but she survived and was treated for her injuries at a local hospital.
Belk allegedly stuffed Floyd’s body in a trash can after killing him, per News Channel 9. The body was reportedly found in the fetal position.
When police arrived on the scene of the incident, they allegedly found Belk “standing in his doorway covered in blood,” the outlet notes, citing an arrest report.
Belk also bore wounds to his body, the Chattanoogan reports.
When he was questioned by police, Belk reportedly said he was worried about the state of his relationship in the aftermath of the violent incident.
“I am worried about my relationship with my wife due to the fact that I offed him,” he allegedly told investigators, per News Channel 9.
Belk was taken into custody and faces criminal homicide charges, among others, according to WDEF.
In his obituary, Floyd was remembered as enjoying “hunting, fishing, four wheelers and working on everything,” as well as spending time with his family and friends. A GoFundMe was launched for his family to raise money for funeral costs.
PEOPLE was unable to immediately reach the Sequatchie County Sheriff’s office for comment. It was not immediately clear if Belk has retained an attorney on his behalf.
