INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) _ A 48-year-old man who fatally stabbed his wife while
their three children hid has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of
parole.
Vicente Roldan-Marron was sentenced Thursday for first-degree murder and armed
criminal action in the January killing of Yadira Gomez.
The Kansas City Star reports Roldan-Marron stabbed his wife 13 times with four
different knives.
The couple’s 9-year-old son testified he hid his two younger siblings in
the basement and saw his father retrieve the final knife used in the attack.
Roldan-Marron was arrested after the 9-year-old told his teacher about the
attack. He and his two younger siblings stayed in the basement before waking up
their dad to drive them to school the next morning.
