HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Newly released video shows the moments police found a pregnant mother stabbed to death in Hallandale Beach.
Police have since said the father of her children confessed to the crime.
Back on Nov. 12, Hallandale Beach police received a call from a day care saying that two children, ages 8 and 9, were not picked up by their mother.
Body camera footage exclusively obtained by Local 10 News shows officers arriving at the home of Delfina Perez Chilel later that day.
Fire rescue crews were also on scene and soon a swarm of Hallandale Beach police officers arrived.
They eventually broke down the door, and inside they found Perez Chilel, who according to sources was stabbed numerous times in a bathroom.
Her next-door neighbor said she knew there were domestic abuse disputes going on between Perez Chilel and her husband.
She said neighbors had suggested for her to leave her abusive husband, but she didn’t want anyone involved.
According to detectives, Perez Chilel was found with severe injuries and she was also 20 weeks pregnant.
The father of the kids and her husband, Victor Chaves, was also found unresponsive. He was taken to the hospital and has since been taken to jail.
On Sunday, Chaves stood before a judge. He was given no bond and will remain behind bars.
