It was about 2 a.m. on Saturday morning when a fight broke out between Adalberto Sanchez, 50, and his 41-year-old wife Josefa in their Ozone Park apartment after he accused her of cheating on him.
Their three children who were at home, fled the apartment, located on 80th Street near Liberty Avenue, and one of them called the police.
Cops arrived to find Josefa dead, facedown in her bed with multiple stab wounds. Police say her husband attempted to kill himself with the same pocketknife used in the attack by plunging it into his abdomen but his wound was not life threatening and he was treated at Jamaica Hospital.
