A Utah police officer who murdered his family and killed himself in January had repeatedly drugged and raped his wife, who threatened to take their kids away, authorities revealed in a 145-page investigative report. Joshua Boren allegedly videotaped the sexual assaults, which were reported to police by his therapist. His wife learned of the attacks in 2013 but didn't turn report him, according to the Deseret News, which obtained the police documents. But the night before she was killed, Kelly Boren did confront her husband about the depravity.
"I hate my life because (of) you," she texted. "You killed a part of me." She also texted the word "rape" over and over and said she was leaving her husband, who had been sexually assaulted by his mother's boyfriend as a child. Hours later, Joshua Boren used his service revolver to shoot Kelly, 32, their 7-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl, and his 55-year-old mother-in-law before killing himself at the family home in Spanish Fork, police say.
