A 27-year-old San Jose man was arrested on suspicion of killing his 40-year-old wife, authorities said Saturday.

Sajawal Chadhar was booked into the Santa Clara County main jail Thursday in connection with the death of his wife, Leann Watson Chadhar, according to the San Jose Police Department.

Officers sent to the Chadhar home on the 2100 block of Coyne Court about 8:45 a.m. Thursday found the woman at the home, where she was pronounced dead, officials said.

Crime scene investigators ruled the death a homicide, but police have not disclosed how Leann Chadhar died.

Her husband is being held without bail.
