Joshua Salyers 'beat Barbara Dailey to death and sliced her throat'

A boyfriend has admitted beating his mother-of-three girlfriend and slicing her throat after he was kicked out of their family home, police say.

Joshua Salyers, 29, has been charged with murder after Barbara Dailey was brutally attacked inside her Muskegon, Michigan, house while she was home alone, and her neighbors were at a picnic on Sunday.

The 22-year-old's body was covered in bruises and had a cut across her throat. 

Cops were responding to a 911 from a man, believed to be Salyers, saying his girlfriend had been attacked by someone else.

When police arrived, they found Dailey with cuts and a blunt force trauma to the head. Salyers was also at the scene.

She was taken to hospital but died a short time later from her injuries. 

Salyers later admitted that he caused her deadly injuries, and was arrested.

Dailey's friend, Doug Carlson, told WZZM 13: 'She had a bad relationship with a bad dude, and he is not allowed here.

'Two nights ago, he came by my house and asked if he could visit her, and I told him, "No."'

Neighbor Kevin Sanders told the station he has surveillance cameras on every corner of his home, and spotted Salyers trying to get into the house. 

It is not known if Salyers is the father of the children. 

He is behind bars and is set to be arraigned on Tuesday, September 6.
