California police have arrested a man after his critically injured wife called 911 to report that her husband had allegedly tried to kill her by throwing her in the water and then burying her alive, authorities recently said.
The woman called the City of Coronado Police Department just before 9 p.m. local time Wednesday, telling dispatchers “her husband had just tried to kill her on the beach,” officials said in a Facebook post announcing the alleged crime.
Officers arrived at the Ocean Boulevard location to discover the victim on the sidewalk, badly wounded.
According to the police, the couple began arguing while at the beach earlier in the night, at which point the suspect began to attack his wife.

After unsuccessfully trying to throw the woman in the water, the suspect purportedly buried her alive in a hole in the sand, police said.
The woman was able to escape and ran off toward the street, where a bystander discovered her on the sidewalk and helped her call 911.
