A husband killed his estranged wife then stabbed himself inside a South Jersey high-rise overnight, according to officials.
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.
Police arrived at the apartment around 7:50 p.m. after receiving a report of a domestic dispute. When they went inside the bedroom of the apartment they found Joseline Perez, 36, suffering from multiple stab wounds. They also found her estranged husband Timothy Moorman, 41, suffering from wounds as well.
Officials say Moorman stabbed Perez and then stabbed himself. Perez was pronounced dead at 9:52 p.m. Moorman was taken to Cooper University Hospital where he is currently in critical condition. He is charged with first-degree murder though his bail has not been set.
Neighbors overheard the couple, who recently separated, arguing prior to the stabbing, according to sources.
The couple's three children were home at the time but didn't witness the killing and weren't harmed, said sources.
Witnesses said they saw blood on the second floor of the building.
