A man accused of stabbing and killing his estranged wife while her children were home and trying to kill himself in a South Jersey apartment is now in stable condition at a hospital, said authorities.
Sgt. Eric Wren, a spokesman for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, told NJ.com 41-year-old Timothy Moorman remained hospitalized but has improved since he was brought in Aug. 22 in critical condition.
The incident played out inside an apartment in building C at the Heights of Collingswood along White Horse Pike (U.S. Route 30) and Collings Avenue in Collingswood, New Jersey Monday night, said Camden County law enforcement.
Authorities said Collingswood officers found 36-year-old Joseline Perez with multiple stab wounds as they responded to a reported domestic disturbance. She was pronounced dead hours later.
Moorman was also found in a bedroom with self-inflicted wounds and has since been charged with first-degree murder.
