Illegal Alien Arrested for ‘Nearly Decapitating’ Wife Just Days After Entering US
A Mexican national who illegally entered the U.S. last month has been charged with first-degree murder in Illinois after a brutal stabbing rampage that left his wife ‘nearly decapitated,’ authorities say.
The horrifying incident unfolded on Sunday night in Carol Stream, a village in the Chicago suburbs.
The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Baltazar Perez-Estrada, arrived at the Carol Stream Police Department just before noon on Monday and told officers he had stabbed his wife.
Officers immediately took Perez-Estrada into custody and launched an investigation.
They learned that Perez-Estrada had become embroiled in a verbal altercation the night before with his 26-year-old wife, Maricela Simon Franco.
“It is alleged that the argument turned physical resulting in Perez-Estrada stabbing Franco dozens of times about her head, neck, body and hands, nearly decapitating her head,” DuPage County officials explained in a press release on Thursday.
Authorities discovered Perez-Estada had illegally entered the United States approximately two weeks prior to the killing, which took place while the couple’s two minor children were present.
“First and foremost, I offer my sincerest condolences to Maricela’s surviving family and friends on their loss and wish them strength as they continue their lives without the love and support provided by Maricela,” DuPage County District Attorney Robert Berlin said.
“The extremely violent end to a young mother’s life is something that should touch us all. Domestic violence continues to be a scourge on society, claiming more than ten million victims a year in some form or fashion. In this case, the sad reality is, Maricela’s life has been reduced to a statistic of domestic violence due to the alleged actions of her husband, Baltazar Perez-Estrada.”
Baltazar Perez-Estrada has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder and is scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on April 25, 2024.
He was also charged with “alien inadmissibility” by the federal government and was given a future court date.
