A 25-year-old man held by police after the body of his pregnant prostitute wife was found on a dirt bike track has been placed on suicide watch.
Justin Adams, who was arrested for the murder of his wife Jaymie and their unborn child on Friday, told jailors at Oklahoma County prison he had thought about killing himself after she went missing on December 10.
He told his attorney he was stripped of his clothes and was forced to sleep naked on a steel bunk bed without a mattress in prison, NewsOK reported.
But a sheriff's spokesman told the paper Adams was given a smock to wear and was on suicide watch for his first 48 hours in jail.
He added Adams now is wearing regular jail clothes and is on mental health observation status, which means he is checked every 15 minutes.
Police believe he fatally stabbed his wife before dumping her body at a dirt bike track in southeast Oklahoma City, according to NewsOK.
He has not yet been charged.
Judge Russell Hall told him at a video arraignment on Monday: 'The district attorney will take a look at the police report and type up the charges.'
The judge denied bail.
