Law enforcement authorities reported that a New York man knifed his estranged wife to death early Tuesday inside her Washington Heights apartment before turning the knife on himself and taking a nose dive from her sixth-floor terrace.
At around 8 am Tuesday morning, detectives found 46-year-old Pablo Castro's body on the second-floor balcony of the apartment building on Wadsworth Avenue near W. 179th Street with multiple self-inflicted stab wounds, New York Daily News reports.
