A Mexican national is accused of slitting his wife\u2019s throat with a pocketknife in Dallas, Texas, after the couple had wed just weeks prior, Breitbart News has learned.<\/p>\n
On March 18, 24-year-old\u00a0Francisco Mendez Marin of Mexico was arrested in Carrollton, Texas, and charged with homicide after police alleged that he murdered his 20-year-old wife, Karla Rangel, by slitting her throat with a pocketknife.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis depraved animal murdered his own wife just one month after they were married by brutally slitting her throat with a pocketknife,\u201d the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s (DHS) Lauren Bis said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis illegal alien should have never been allowed into our country to commit this heinous murder,\u201d Bis said. \u201cICE requested authorities in Dallas to not release this cold-blooded killer onto the streets. Thankfully, Dallas politicians cooperate with ICE, so together we can ensure this murderer is NEVER loose in American communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said Marin and Rangel had been married for less than a month when the murder occurred and that when they responded to the incident, Marin was covered in blood and carrying a bloody pocketknife.<\/p>\n
Marin remains in custody of the Dallas County Sheriff\u2019s Office and is being held at the Dallas County Jail. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer against him.<\/p>\n
