RIVERSIDE, Calif.—A Riverside County man has been charged with killing his wife and her 6-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors charged 52-year-old Michael Barbar with two counts of murder with special allegations of multiple murders and lying in wait.
The district attorney's office says Barbar killed his wife, 43-year-old Maysam Barbar and her 6-year-old daughter, Tamara, who were found in their home in Perris on Nov. 14.
Prosecutors say he gave his two teenage stepchildren money to stay out late the night of the murders.
Michael Barbar was arrested in New Mexico the next day.
Prosecutors say he waived extradition to California and will return by the end of next week.
Authorities have not revealed how the victims were killed.

(NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
