An Ohio man placed a frantic call to 911 on Friday evening, claiming someone, a possible intruder, broke into his home and stabbed his wife, a school teacher, numerous times, killing her.
ABC5 reports that police responded to a call off of Blazing Drive in Strongsville at around 8 p.m. on Monday evening, where they found 49-year-old Melinda Pleskovic lying face down in her home with multiple stab wounds to her back. Authorities rushed her to the Southwest General Hospital, where medical professionals pronounced her dead.
“I think someone killed my wife,” Pleskovic’s husband, Bruce Plescovic, told a 911 operator before becoming irate, yelling that authorities “dropped the ball” after numerous alleged complaints of break-ins.
“It looks like she has stab wounds on her back. We’ve had people trying to break into our house all year…You people dropped the f***** ball. This whole city is getting fricken’ taken over.”
According to news release by the Strongsville Police Department, Bruce Plescovic contacted authorities the week prior and said someone tried to break into his back door.
