CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago police say a husband and wife found dead in their southwest side apartment may have stabbed one another to death.
Officer Laura Kubiak of the Police News Affairs office said Tuesday that investigators have learned that 46-year-old Mario Zavala and his 22-year-old wife, Krystal, had a volatile relationship and had recently gotten back together.
Kubiak said there were no signs of forced entry at the couple’s Gage Park neighborhood apartment Monday afternoon, and officers found a knife at the scene.
Police Sgt. James Lamperis said a roommate of the couple called police after finding them dead, and investigators said both victims appeared to have suffered stab wounds.
