PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The husband of a jogger found strangled in a park has been charged with her murder, police said Sunday, days after they warned female runners to take extra precautions until the killer was caught.  Police announced this afternoon that they have arrested the husband of Constance “Connie” Murray and charged him with murdering her last week in Pennypack Park. “The reality was he became a suspect early on and remained a suspect until he confessed,” said Homicide Lt. Philip Riehl. Riehl said Murray has expressed remorse. “I think it was more of a rage incident more than premeditated,” Riehl said, adding that there had been “some ongoing domestic discord between the two.” 
 
 
 
 Connie Murray’s funeral services were scheduled to begin tonight and conclude tomorrow. Cops say Christopher Murray, 48, allegedly confronted his 46-year-old wife Monday night when she went for a jog, then strangled her. "She went up there voluntarily to talk to him about whatever was going on and things went bad," Riehl said. Murray told investigators that he and his wife, Constance Murray, 46, had argued on the evening of Aug. 4 and she left for a walk or jog in a park near their home. Surveillance video showed Christopher Murray in his vehicle, and he was taken in for questioning Saturday night, police said. “There was a lot of good police work that went into this.” 
 
 
 
 Riehl said aspects of Christopher Murray’s story didn’t add up, which led them to bring in a state police trooper to administer a lie-detector test. Christopher Murray, 48, failed a lie detector test and then admitted to killing his wife, Police Lieutenant Philip Riehl told a news conference. The couple have two daughters, ages 12 and 15. In a phone interview with the Philadelphia Daily News last week, Christopher Murray described his wife's death as "devastating" and said she was "a beautiful woman, a loving, caring mother, a fabulous friend." Murray was denied bail, and no attorney is listed for him in court papers.
– After a jogger's body was found in a Philadelphia park, police told runners to be on their guard—but it seems the murder wasn't an arbitrary killing. Instead, police say Christopher Murray, husband of jogger Constance Murray, killed his wife in an argument, the AP reports. Murray confessed to the crime after failing a lie detector test, police say, per the Philadelphia Daily News. "I think it was more of a rage incident ... than premeditated," officer Philip Riehl says. Amid "some ongoing domestic discord," Murray allegedly jumped in a car and followed his wife when she went jogging; at that point, police say, they don't think he was planning to kill her, Reuters notes. The couple ended up arguing on a bench. "She went up there voluntarily to talk to him about whatever was going on and things went bad," the officer notes. Police say Christopher Murray strangled Constance and left her body nearby; he later reported her missing, the AP notes. "The reality was he became a suspect early on and remained a suspect until he confessed," Riehl says, adding that "the people [who] play and exercise in the area … can have a sigh of relief because there is not a predator lurking." The couple has two daughters, ages 12 and 15, per the Daily News.
