Houston Texas Man Beats Wife to Death with a Clothing Iron
A Houston woman was brutally beaten to death with an iron, the impact so severe that the iron was found shattered in half beside her body.
Kristen Chavez, a 32-year-old woman was found dead in her home along with one of her dogs in Houston. Kristen, who is described as a daughter, sister, and paralegal, was entangled in an attack so severe it left her beaten to death.
The 32-year-old husband, Chance Chavez, has been named as her alleged killer. Investigators painted a horrifying scene inside her Northwest Houston home.
Police were called after Chance knocked on a neighbor's door, covered in blood and begging for help.
POLICE WALK INTO A HORRIFIC CRIME SCENE
When police arrived they made a chilling discovery. It appeared Kristen was beaten in the head so severely in her head with a clothing iron that it broke into two pieces. Investigators also noted that the room had multiple holes in the wall.
“It feels like a nightmare,” her brother Devin Cervantes said.
Now, Kristen's family is desperately fighting to demand justice.
“She was very ambitious. Loved to help people. Very outgoing. She never met a stranger,” her mother Laura Bell said.
VICTIMS FAMILY BEGS FOR A HIGHER BOND
Chance, who is being held on a $250,000 bond, is charged with the murder of his wife. However, Kristen's family is fighting to increase his bond or eliminate it altogether for the vicious crime he committed.
Family and friends have created a petition urging for the current $250,000 bond to be increased.
