The Stockton Record
STOCKTON A man is in custody on suspicion of murder after a 58-year-old woman was fatally stabbed inside a home in south Stockton on Tuesday, Stockton police reported.
The slaying appears to be a case of domestic violence, Stockton police spokesman Officer Joe Silva said Wednesday.
Police responding at about 5:39 p.m. to a home in the 2100 block of Del Playa Court discovered a woman who had been stabbed and a 58-year-old man, Santiago Soto, allegedly armed with a knife.
The woman was taken to a local hospital, where she died, police said. Soto also had non-life-threatening self-inflicted injuries and was treated at a hospital before being booked on suspicion of murder, domestic violence and weapons charges. Online records show him living at a home on Del Playa.
It’s been said at least a hundred times since Saturday night and it’ll be said about a hundred more before UFC 188 fully takes over the collective consciousness of MMA fans this week, but in a perfect world, Dan Henderson would have left his gloves in the cage following his win over Tim Boetsch this weekend.
At 44 years old and heading into the 44th fight of a career that’s lasted over a decade, Henderson walked into the cage and delivered a trademark “H-Bomb” to the chin of Boetsch to set up a fight-ending uppercut just 28 seconds into the fight. For Henderson to have walked away at that particular moment would have been about as close to a storybook ending as the legendary fighter could get at this point in his career. However, we knew before the fight that Henderson had no intention of hanging up his gloves after Saturday night. Now that the future Hall of Famer is coming off an emphatic knockout win, you have to wonder what’s next for him.
