Cops: Man Kills Wife in NY Home, Son Hurt Trying to Stop Him
A man has been arrested, accused of stabbing and killing his wife inside a Long Island home on Monday, police say.
Wayne Alcus, 49, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the deadly stabbing of his 55-year-old wife Patricia Alcus in Copiague, according to Suffolk County police. He will be arraigned in court on Tuesday; it’s not clear whether he had an attorney who could comment on the allegations.
The couple’s 18-year-old son suffered an injury to his hand while trying to take the knife away from his father as the violence unfolded at around 7 p.m. Monday inside Patricia’s Lake Drive home. The teenager is expected to survive.
Patricia was pronounced dead at the scene.
A motive for the attack has not yet been determined. An investigation is ongoing.
