A Nevada husband stabbed his wife to death in front of their 5-year-old daughter because the victim had refused to cuddle with him, authorities said.
Moises Sanchez, 53, allegedly told investigators that he harbored suspicions that Veronica Cortes-Rosales, 43, was having an affair, and yet he admitted he had no evidence to prove this, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department statement and probable cause affidavit.
“He explained that they agreed they would not have sex and would live together and remain ‘friends’ for the kids,” officers wrote. “He further admitted that if Veronica had responded to his affection in bed, he would not have killed her.”
Sanchez allegedly told cops that he and Cortes-Rosales had been married since 1999. He claimed she started acting differently three or four months before and that he believed she was having an affair with a co-worker at McDonald’s.
