BRYAN, Texas (WKRC) – A man has been sentenced to life in prison for the brutal killing of his wife in 2023.
According to KBTX, Brian Alan Jutson Sr., 47, murdered his wife, Sherry Shugart Jutson.
A judge handed down the sentence after Brian Jutson pleaded guilty to one count of murder. The crime happened after Brian Jutson drove seven hours from his job to confront his wife, whom he thought was having an affair, according to The Mirror US.
According to court documents, Brian Jutson “strangled and stabbed Sherry Jutson more than 30 times with a pair of scissors.” The College Station Police Department reported that officers found Sherry Jutson dead in her home after responding to a 911 call made by Brian Jutson’s daughter.
The daughter told dispatchers that her father had confessed to her about killing her stepmother. A police report said that Brian Jutson said over the phone that he “might have killed her,” according to KAGS.
Additionally, in a police interview, Brian Jutson admitted to the murder, recalling that Sherry Jutson pleaded for her life during the attack, saying to him, “Baby, I love you; please stop. I’m dying.”
Brian Jutson then said he waited for her to take her final breath, showered, changed clothes, and left the house, according to KBTX.
