Authorities claim Fitbit contradicts man’s account of wife’s death

Police in Connecticut have arrested a man over the killing of his wife after an activity tracking device she wore showed she was alive for longer than the suspect told police.

Connie Dabate was killed in her home only two days before Christmas 2015. Her obituary described her as “beloved wife and best friend of Richard Dabate”.

But now her “best friend” is the lead suspect in the case of the 39-year-old’s murder.
