Groom Prime Suspect in Young Bride’s Stabbing Death
She was found still wearing the shimmering silver cocktail number she wore to celebrate her wedding. She was as bright as the sequins on that dress. Young. Beautiful.
But within two days of saying, “I do,” she was dead.
Police officers in the suburban Chicago town of Burbank found Estrella Carrera, 26, in the bathtub of the condominium she planned to share with Arnoldo Jimenez, 30. She had been stabbed multiple times.
“This was a brutal murder,” Capt. Joe Ford, spokesman for the Burbank Police Department, said Wednesday. “There is some aggression, obviously.”
Police found no signs of a forced entry into the condo on Rutherford Avenue. They were searching Wednesday for Carrera’s husband.
Jimenez is the prime suspect in his young wife’s murder and is wanted on a first-degree murder warrant, police said.
“It is important to know that this appears to be an isolated incident stemming from a domestic situation and the investigation is continuing,” police said Monday, before obtaining the warrant.
