The Colorado man accused of killing his wife and two daughters was actively having an affair — and claimed his wife strangled the girls shortly after he requested a separation, according to a bombshell arrest affidavit released Monday. Christopher Watts, 33, was charged earlier Monday with nine felony counts, including three first-degree murder charges in the deaths of his wife, Shanann, 34, and two daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3. At that point, Watts said he "went into a rage" and strangled his wife to death, the affidavit states. He told police he then put the bodies of his wife and two daughters into his work truck and took them to an oil site. Watts said he buried Shanann's body near two oil tanks and dumped Bella and Celeste's bodies inside the oil tanks, according to the affidavit.
