BOSTON
A 42-year-old man was identified yesterday as the person who stormed into a South Boston housing development on Tuesday, stabbed his estranged wife, set fire to an apartment, and then jumped to his death. Boston police identified the man as Franklin Medina and said that it appeared he was not living in the Mary Ellen McCormack housing development where he attacked his wife Tuesday afternoon. Police would not release the name of Medina’s wife, but said she is recovering from her wounds at a Boston hospital. Police said that the couple’s two children were home at the time and that the state Department of Children and Families is playing a role in their care.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (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?
