UPDATE: Listen to Police Radio Response to Stabbing-Suicide

You can hear LAPD Dispatch and voices from Chatsworth Fire Stations 107 and 96.

At first, police thought they were responding to a domestic dispute during the wee hours Saturday at a house on the 20200 block of Lassen Street.

But a more horiffic scene unfolded once they arrived. Inside the one-story white house, behind two palm trees and a neatly trimmed lawn, they found a woman bleeding from stab wounds in her neck. And then out back, sinking in the pool was a man. Drowned.

He was identified by the coroner's office Sunday as 59-year-old Carlos Olguin. They did not release his injured wife's name.
