(12/12/07) NEW CASSEL ? A New Cassel man has been charged with the fatal stabbing of his wife in their Garden Street residence.
News 12 Long Island was at the home Tuesday as Nassau County police combed through the crime scene. Although they were extremely tight-lipped at the time, it is now known that 42-year-old Jose Toxtle is charged with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of his wife, Teresa Barrera.
Police say Toxtle, who was arrested Tuesday, stabbed Barrera multiple times. Residents who live near the crime scene told News 12 Long Island Tuesday that Toxtle and Barrera were a quiet, seemingly normal couple.
