A MOM who allegedly “stabbed her husband to death with a NAIL FILE after he headbutted her in a fight over weed” has been charged with manslaughter.
Katheleen Ayala, 30, was charged in New Jersey court this week over the January 12 incident.
Ayala was charged with aggravated manslaughter and aggravated assault weapons charges, after an alleged fight that led to the death of her husband, NJ.com reported.
The mom-of-four claimed self-defense in the events that led to the death of her husband, Axel Torres, 35.
Ayala’s lawyer alleged the couple got into a fight after Torres smoked marijuana and got upset that the bathroom was dirty, NJ.com reported.
Prosecutors alleged Torres then head-butted Ayala.
They said this led to Ayala getting a concussion and breaking her nose.
Ayala was then accused of chasing Torres outside with a pair of metal fingernail clippers with a file.
She was accused by prosecutors of stabbing her husband with the nail file, NJ.com reported.
Court documents said that Ayala told cops she only wanted to scare her husband – and did not mean to hurt him, WJAC reported.
During a January court hearing, attorney Eugene P Tinari said: “Who stabs someone in the calf if you want to kill them? Nobody,” the Daily Mail reported.
In a 911 call, Ayala said “He stopped breathing, he’s bleeding” and told the dispatcher “I don’t know what’s going on!” according to WJAC.
Torres suffered a wound to his his left calf, hands, shoulder, groin area, and foot, NJ.com reported.
The couple allegedly apologized to one another after the fight – but Torres began to feel unwell.
Although cops arrived to find Ayala giving Torres chest compressions and he was rushed to the hospital, he later died.
The mom told cops she was responsible for the assault around the time of the incident, NJ.com reported.
Ayla was arrested after the stabbing. She initially faced murder charges in the incidents.
Prosecutors this week charged Ayala with aggravated manslaughter, however, NJ.com reported.
Jail records show Ayala is held in the Cumberland County Department of Corrections.
