Staten Island, NY: Source: Staten Island man, Arthur Rubin, sought for questioning after wife's death, now in police custody

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. --  Arthur Rubin, the man police want to question after his wife was discovered dead in the couple's Willowbrook home this afternoon, is now in police custody, a law enforcement source tells the Advance.

The
victim -- identified as Eva Rubin, 63, according to the source -- was found inside 251 Crafton Ave. at 1:31 p.m.

Ms. Rubin was found with marks on her neck, police at the scene said. Cops were seeking the woman's husband, Arthur, for questioning.
A law enforcement source said Rubin sent his son-in-law a text message earlier in the day. After the son-in-law received the message he went to the house and discovered Mrs. Rubin in the bedroom, the source said.
The source said Rubin texted that he was "sorry" and "he couldn't take it anymore."
Rubin was believed to have been driving a green 2001 Santa Fe.
Police have yet to officially label the death a homicide or list a cause of death. The Medical Examiner's office is conducting an autopsy tomorrow.
Neighbors on Crafton Avenue described the Rubins as a "nice couple" that was active in the Jewish community. "We can't even process this," one said. "It hasn't even sunken in yet."
