The 46-year-old man was to undergo a psychiatric examination before being arraigned today, police said. Police did not release the identities of the man or woman.

The man was convicted of killing his first wife in Columbus and sentenced to 15 years to life, police said, but it wasn’t immediately known when he was released.
