A man was charged Wednesday with fatally stabbing his estranged wife during a domestic dispute at a San Juan Capistrano home.
Stephen Anthony Demora, 62, was accused of killing 59-year-old Debora Jean Demora on Saturday and was charged with murder with a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a deadly weapon.
Orange County sheriff’s deputies responded about 6:30 a.m. to a reported domestic dispute in the 26000 block of Laurelwood Lane, authorities said.
Deputies found the victim suffering from stab wounds, and the suspect was taken by ambulance to a hospital for treatment of injuries not considered life-threatening, according to authorities.
The estranged couple lived at the residence where the stabbing occurred, deputies said.
