Jealous rage ends in murder
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
At approximately 12: 30 p.m., Roberto Marroquin arrived at Molina’s home for this midday meal. There he was met by Gregorio who produced a knife and lunged after him. One stab wound on the left rib cage and one puncture wound on the left side of the chest later, he turned his attention to Molina and her four-year-old daughter, who was at home at the time along with her one-year-old brother.
Molina had lived with Gregorio for over six year and the couple had four children ranging from the ages of one to six. They had been estranged for the past three months and Gregorio did not take care of his children. As of recent, Marroquin, who neighbors describe as a loving man, someone who adored children, offered his assistance to Molina. Marroquin who worked as a construction worker, would buy groceries and food stuff which Molina would cook for him, herself and the children.

The video above shows the area in San Mateo where Molina lives. As shown on the video, officers had a hard task taking the body out of the area. An elaborate network of London bridges are the only roads used by the residents to get to and from their homes.
