Investigators in New Jersey<\/a> are looking into what led to the fatal stabbing of a woman inside her Somerville home.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Ignacio Espinal, 55, was arrested on Tuesday in West New York, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Coincidentally, Conor Hanlon, Brooke Hanlon’s husband, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, used to work for a construction contractor in Somerville, less than a mile from the scene of this recent incident.<\/p>\n
