A woman identified as Alyne Espinal, 46, was found deceased inside her Somerville home following a 911 call reporting welfare concerns. She had sustained multiple lacerations and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her husband, Ignacio Espinal, 55, was arrested on Tuesday in West New York, New Jersey. He faces charges including first-degree murder. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities analyzing evidence and interviewing witnesses.
