Mexican Illegal Alien Charged With Nearly Decapitating, Murdering Wife In Front of Children
Prosecutors in Illinois announced on Thursday that they have charged a Mexican illegal alien who just entered the U.S. for allegedly murdering his wife in front of their two children.
DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin and Carol Stream Chief of Police Don Cummings announced the charges today against 33-year-old Baltazar Perez-Estrada, whom they say murdered his wife, 26-year-old Maricela Simon Franco, on Sunday night following a domestic altercation at her apartment.
“On April 1, 2024, at approximately 11:30 a.m., Perez-Estrada entered the Carol Stream Police Department and informed authorities that he had allegedly stabbed his wife,” prosecutors said in a statement. “Officers took Perez-Estrada into custody at this time and immediately opened an investigation. Through the course of their investigation, authorities learned that Perez-Estrada and Franco were at the apartment together and got into a verbal altercation at approximately 10 p.m., the previous evening.”
“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,” the statement continued. “She was pronounced deceased at the scene. Authorities also learned that Perez-Estada had been residing in Mexico and illegally arrived in the United States approximately two weeks ago.” (Read more from “Mexican Illegal Alien Charged With Nearly Decapitating, Murdering Wife In Front of Children” HERE)
