San Diego Woman Accused of Fatally Stabbing Her Husband
A San Diego resident plead not guilty to a murder charge on Wednesday in which she fatally stabbed her husband.
42-year-old Jennifer Trayers allegedly stabbed her husband in their North Park condominium because she suspected he was seeing another woman. The victim of the San Diego violent crime is Dr. Frederick Trayers, a 41-year-old surgeon at Balboa Naval Medical center who was stabbed in the chest, and back of the neck. Mrs. Trayers was found Monday morning near her husband’s body and was then taken to Scripps Mercy Hospital where she denied the murder charges from her hospital bed. Police arrived at the Trayers’s residence because the victim had failed to show up to work for a number of days. The authorities discovered the defendant on the opposite side of the bed with the victim where she had self-inflicted cuts on her body.
Trayers had sent an e-mail to the woman who was suspected of having an affair with the defendant’s husband, that she-the defendant- would be the last person he would be with. Deputy District Attorney, Fiona Khalil, told this to Judge Leo Valentine Jr. right before he ordered the defendant to be held on $2 million dollar bail.
Detectives believe that the San Diego homicide may have occurred as early as Saturday. Two knives were recovered and gathered as evidence. One knife was found in the bed sheets while the other was found on the bedroom floor. The defendant is facing up to 26 years to life in prison if convicted of this San Diego crime.
