MENIFEEÂ – A 43-year-old man allegedly beat a Menifee woman to death in her residence, authorities said today.
Carl Dupsloff was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of murder for the alleged attack in the 27500 block of Summit Street, near McCall Boulevard.
Dupsloff was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation but was expected to be booked into the Byrd Detention Center in Murrieta before the weekend.
According to Menifee police spokesman Chase Coburn, shortly before 6 a.m. Wednesday, officers were sent to the Summit Street house after one of the occupants called 911 saying she had heard “yelling and possible hitting” from her cohabitant’s nearby room.
“Upon arrival, officers located a 43-year-old deceased woman, with visible trauma to her body,” Coburn said.
He said that officers spoke with the witness and were directed to Dupsloff, who was taken into custody at the location without incident.
Because the suspect was exhibiting signs of a possible behavioral disorder, he was placed on a psychiatric hold and not taken straight to jail, Coburn said.
The victim’s identity was not immediately released, and a possible motive was not disclosed.
“Preliminary investigation revealed this was an isolated incident, and the involved parties knew each other,” the police spokesman said.
Background information on Dupsloff was unavailable.
