<h2>Woman found stabbed in basement</h2>

According to police, Brenda Guadalupe Alfaro-Alcantara, 29, was found dead in the basement of her home on Botsford Avenue after being stabbed 34 times by Jose W. Funes-Zabala, 43 on Saturday evening, around 8:30 p.m. She had been in a relationship with Jose W. Funes-Zabala for three years, and they had a&nbsp;2-year-old son. Their relationship was violent, and family members had thrown Funes-Zabala out of the house due to his behaviour.

<h2>Details of the incident</h2>

An argument began when Funes-Zabala found out that Alfaro-Alcantara had started dating someone else. The situation quickly escalated, and in a rage, he stabbed her 34 times while their 2-year-old son watched, the child, covered in his mother’s blood, walked out of the basement to find other family members. "I can't imagine what that baby went through. It's just unbelievable,"&nbsp;said neighbour Larissa Del Gado.

In October 2023, Alfaro-Alcantara took their son to court after the child was allegedly injured by his father, suffering fractures to his femur and skull. A protection order was placed against Funes-Zabala, but that order expired on Friday, October 4. One day later, he showed up to visit his son.

Funes-Zabala fled the scene but was later found at a hospital with self-inflicted injuries. He was treated and declared fit for arrest. Police charged him with second-degree murder and endangering the welfare of a child.
