FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.couriersun.com NOVEMBER 21, 2013 • THE COURIER SUN 11 MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER AFTER ALLEGEDLY STABBING WIFE TO DEATH BY MAGGIE HAYES [email protected] A knife-wielding Ozone Park man allegedly stabbed his wife to death after catching her cheating, friends and neighbors said. Police broke down a locked bedroom door in an 80th Street home at about 3 a.m. on November 15 and found Josefa Sanchez, 41, unconscious and unresponsive. She was rushed to Jamaica Hospital and pronounced dead, authorities said. Her husband, Adalberto Sanchez, 50, had apparently caught her being unfaithful after some surveillance, according to Marino Garcia, the man’s best friend for 16 years. Garcia said Sanchez, who has three children with the victim, put a tape recorder under the seat of the couple’s car and obtained recordings of his wife allegedly having relations with another man. “He told me yesterday. He was really bad. I told him to leave her,” Garcia said. Sanchez said he wanted one last recording to fi nd out exactly who his wife’s partner was, and then he would leave. “I told him to come with me,” Garcia said. “I never thought he would do this. I know everything about him. He’s like my big brother.” But the alleged killer, who is a cab driver, followed his wife out of the house late Thursday night, said neighbor Betsy Guerra. When they returned about 2 a.m., an argument erupted, and he said he saw her with somebody else. After he allegedly killed his wife, Sanchez stabbed himself in the stomach and waited at the kitchen table for authorities to arrive, according to police. He was then brought to Jamaica Hospital. The couple worked at the same transportation company, she as a bus driver and he as a taxi driver, Garcia and neighbors said. Sanchez is charged with murder, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon.
