Mario Alejandro Ramirez is accused of the murder of his wife, Fayanni Andreina Ramirez, a Venezuelan woman, in the presence of their children
A Florida man is behind bars after fatally stabbing his pregnant wife in front of their 3 children, authorities said.
Mario Alejandro Ramirez, 37, is charged with one count of murder, according to records from the Florida County Sheriff's Office Broward.
The incident occurred after midnight on Tuesday in a first-floor apartment on Northeast 41st Street in Oakland Park, north of Fort Lauderdale.
The Broward Sheriff's Office released new details about the murder of Fayanni Andreina Ramirez, a Venezuelan mother.
Videos show the accused screaming as rescuers carry him away on a stretcher, after he fatally stabbed his wife and injured himself.
In the video, recorded by a neighbor on a cell phone, he can be heard yelling that they wanted to kill him and that they had taken his three children.
“They made me kill my wife because they cornered me. The Illuminati.” At another point, he denies committing the crime.
The couple's children were also in the apartment. “They are aware of what happened that day, because they were there,” another neighbor told Telemundo 51. At the time of the murder, the victim had a restraining order in place against the accused, according to authorities. The accused is currently being held without bail at the Broward Main Jail, WPLG reported. During the bail hearing, the judge also ordered medical and mental health evaluations.
