Police have now reportedly identified the Mexican national who is suspected of killing his own two children in a small Wisconsin town last week as an illegal immigrant.
About 2,300 people live in Abbotsford, and last Friday, 29-year-old Victor Manuel Gomez Acosta was taken into custody by law police for the deaths and stabbing of his wife.
The victims have not been named by the police.
According to the police, he attacked his wife while she was sleeping and fatally stabbed the children. Gomez Acosta is accused of one attempted murder and two first-degree intentional homicides.
He now has a $1 million bail set for him.
According to Alex Bowman, the police chief of the Colby-Abbotsford Police Department, Gomez Acosta entered the country on a six-month work permit but exceeded the maximum period of time permitted by law.
On July 5, the stabbing incident occurred early in the morning. Just before 2:00 a.m., Gomez Acosta’s wife phoned the police.
The Colby-Abbotsford Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff’s Department arrived at the scene of the crime.
At the house, they apprehended Gomez Acosta and reported to the police that he had been attacked by “crazy guys.”
According to the police, the suspect had stabbed himself. According to accounts from the area, his wife was stabbed around seventeen times and needed surgery.
The motivation has not yet been identified, according to the authorities. Gomez Acosta had already been arrested several times for operating a vehicle while inebriated or drunk.
In the last four years, ICE has become less active, Chief Bowman told Just the News.
