Wife Found Innocent For
Stabbing Husband
A Goicoechea court found
a woman identified by
her last name López
Zapata not guilty of
killing her husband, who
was stabbed to death
after a drunken
argument.
The court heard
testimony of how the
couple, under the
influence of alcohol,
argued when the man
spend all his money in
the bar they were
drinking.
When the couple got
home, the man demanded
that the woman give him
the money she had
stashed away so that he
could go out to buy more
"guaro".
The woman refused.
In an angry state, the
man began to beat the
woman, when she grabbed
a kitchen knife and
stabbed him six times.
The incident occurred
last August 13th.
The court absolved the
woman and found her
innocent as she had
acted, though under the
influence of alcohol, in
her self defense. |
