FARMINGVILLE, Long Island (WABC) — A man is accused of stabbing his estranged wife to death before trying to kill himself in Farmingville.<\/p>\n
It happened around 8:15 p.m. Thursday at a home on Granny Road.<\/p>\n
Marcos Marques-Leal, 57, is charged with murder, criminal contempt and endangering the welfare of a child.<\/p>\n
Police said they responded to a domestic call at the home and found Adriana Barbosa, 46, with stab wounds.<\/p>\n
She was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
A teenaged relative, who was in the home at the time, also suffered injuries during the attack and was taken to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Marques-Leal was also brought to the hospital and is being treated for serious injuries.<\/p>\n
“Oh, my goodness. Blue and red lights, cherries and berries we call them about a dozen to two dozen cars swooping in here at mega speed. Three ambulances. One left early. Probably didn’t need it. One left quietly, unfortunately,” said neighbor Dr. Richard Dark.<\/p>\n
One of the family’s neighbors says they were a kind family: a mother and father with children and a dog.<\/p>\n
“Veryveryveryshocked. I never have problems with him, very nice people… never have no problems with him,” said neighbor Benvinda Viera.<\/p>\n
To some on the block, it’s a reminder, that you never know what’s happening behind closed doors.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know their situation if they ever reached out or something like that. But there are avenues people can go to before it gets to that, that stage,” Dark said.<\/p>\n
It’s not clear yet what led up to the stabbing.<\/p>\n
Marques-Leal will be arraigned at a later date.<\/p>\n
