Upon arrival, police found Diana Wilson, 47, in a bedroom and pronounced her dead on the scene. She had been strangled, according to officials.
Paige, 54, was brought to the Macomb County Sheriff's Office and later taken into custody. He was arraigned Friday on a first-degree premeditated murder charge, which has a maximum sentence of life in prison.
