posted (June 17, 2019)
A 36 year old woman was stabbed in a domestic dispute this weekend. Police told us why they are taking it seriously:...

ASP Alejandro Cowo- OC CIB
"On Sunday 16th June, 2019 just before 6am, police visited 28 Guadalupe Street where they observed Orlette Sanchez with an apparent stab wound to the right side of her chest. She mentioned that while she was inside of her house along with other family members, a dispute ensued between her and her common-law husband and as a result she felt a stabbing injury to her chest and thereafter realize that she was bleeding. She was taken to the hospital where she is still admitted in a stable condition at this moment. She has been spoken to, interviewed and it is not the first time that they have been going through domestic disputes and she had also mentioned that she was in the process of separation from the common-law husband."

"Is she willing to press charges?"

ASP Alejandro Cowo- OC CIB
"Police was just able to interview her for a short while as the injury that she sustained she cannot speak clearly at this moment."

POLICE ARE still looking for her common law to charge him. Sanchez is in a stable condition.
