New York – A New York man was arrested on Monday in connection with the fataI stabbing of his girIfriend, 40-year-old Tammara. The incident occurred last week in the family’s home in New York. The victim was found unresponsive by her famiIy member during a wellness check around 8:35 p.m. She had suffered multiple sttab wounds to her chest and right arm and was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly thereafter.
The defendant, 39-year-old KhaIeeI, faces several charges, including second-degree murder, mansIaughter, endangering the weIfare of a chiId, and criminaI possession of a weapon. According to police, the crime stemmed from a domestic dispute. The defendant had no prior arrests and was awaiting arraignment in the criminal court.
The investigation revealed that the defendant and the victim had been in a reIationship for several years and had two children. A relative stated that the defendant had become increasingly suspicious of his girIfriend, alleging that he had recorded her engaging in phone intrcourse with another man – a claim she denied.
The defendant reportedly expressed deep Iove for his girIfriend and emotional distress over the situation. A child was reportedly present in the apartment at the time of the stabbing, though it’s unclear whether it was one of their daughters.
The victim worked the night shift at a restaurant in New York, and the defendant grew suspicious when one night someone gave her a ride home, according to a family member. She usually took the train, and she wasn’t calling the man as often either, the relative said.
Tensions escalated when the man said he had placed a recorder under the bed and caught the victim having phone intrcourse with another man, but she denied these claims, according to the family member.
Following the incident, the New York Administration for Children’s Services took custody of the children. Efforts are underway to place them with relatives or trusted family friends. The Jama ican Consulate in New York is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death and has pledged to coordinate with appropriate social services to ensure the best outcome for the children.
This tragic event has left the community in shock and mourning. Neighbors described the couple as quiet and never observed any signs of conflict. The loss of the 40-year-old woman, a mother and partner, has deeply affected those who knew her. As the investigation continues, New York authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
