Man accused of stabbing his Wisconsin wife in Illinois hospital bathroom

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, ILL. - A man accused of stabbing his wife to death with a screwdriver inside a locked bathroom at a northern Illinois hospital has been charged with first-degree murder.

Prosecutors say 43-year-old Javier Bahena killed his wife because he believed she was having an affair. The victim, 42-year-old Francisca Quintero of Wisconsin, was attacked Sunday just hours after her brother died of a heart attack at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village.

In a Monday hearing, prosecutors said the couple was married for more than 20 years but had been separated over the last year.
