Two Dead, Slasher Rushed To Hospital After Botched Suicide

""SAN BERNADINO, CA — A San Bernardino man called police early Wednesday morning, telling dispatchers he tried to kill himself after fatally stabbing his ex-wife and 6-year-old daughter.

"Police arrived shortly after 5:30 a.m. to find Jordan Sartorio, 48, with his wrists slit and his wife and child dead inside a modest green house in the 300 block of 29th Street.

"Sartorio is accused of stabbing his ex-wife, Miraflor Sartorio, 51, following an argument early New Year’s Day, San Bernardino police Lt. Brian Tully said.

"The couple’s 6-year-old daughter, Jira, was awakened by her mother’s screams.

"That’s when her father turned the knife on the child, stabbing her repeatedly, Tully said.

"Police said Sartorio attempted suicide, but then called police to report the killing and asking for medical help.

"Sartorio was taken away by ambulance and hospitalized.

"Once he’s released from the hospital, police planned to arrest him on suspicion of two counts of murder.

"The couple had been living together in the home for about a year and a half.

"Police had no history of domestic violence reported in the home. Sartorio has no criminal record in San Bernardino or Riverside counties."
