An illegal immigrant was accused of stabbing his wife to death in a Chicago area apartment and trying to decapitate her in front of their daughters.
Baltazar Perez-Estrada, 33, turned himself into the Carol Stream Police Department on Monday around 11.30am and confessed that he 'allegedly stabbed his wife,' Maricela Simon Franco, 26, according to court records.
Around 10pm Sunday, the couple had an argument at their home in the Carol Stream apartment complex, that soon turned physical after Baltazar discovered that his wife had a boyfriend, prosecutors said.
He proceeded to stab Maricela dozens of times in her neck, head, torso and hands before he attempted to decapitate her head while their two children were present, according to prosecutors.
'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,' the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office said.
