Man Facing Murder Charge in St. George Killing

A man accused of stabbing a woman to death in St. George is facing a first-degree murder charge.

Twenty-nine-year-old Kevin Ray McAtlin, of Moab, allegedly stabbed 33-year-old Elizabeth Ashley Carter to death last June in her apartment on North Bluff Street.

She was found eleven days later in the bathtub.

McAtlin's attorney said the stabbing was done in self-defense after Carter tried to rob McAtlin.
