A 48 YEAR OLD ALBUQUERQUE MAN IS IN JAIL FOR ALLEGEDLY STABBING HIS WIFE TO DEATH OVER THE WEEKEND IN FRONT OF HIS 12 YEAR OLD AND 6 YEAR OLD SONS. BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES SAY IT WAS JERRY CHAVEZ'S 12 YEAR OLD SON WHO CALLED 911 SATURDAY NIGHT TO REPORT THE STABBING AT THEIR HOME ON EL ENSUENO IN THE NORTH VALLEY.
THE BOY SAID HIS FATHER AND MOTHER, SANDRA FERRALES, WERE DIVORCING. BUT JERRY CHAVEZ SHOWED UP SATURDAY NIGHT AND CONFRONTED FERRALES IN THE SHOWER, WHERE THE BOY SAID THE STABBING OCCURRED. FERRALES WAS DEAD BY THE TIME DEPUTIES ARRIVED. THEY CAUGHT UP WITH AND ARRESTED CHAVEZ ABOUT A BLOCK FROM THE HOME.
NEIGHBORS SAY THEY HAD NEVER SEEN CHAVEZ'S BAD SIDE.
