- The couple’s three children are being cared for by family and friends.

## Summary

Prosecutors in California say Thomas John Iovenitti, 40, killed his wife, Alisha, at their Concord home after being released from jail on a pending domestic violence case. The case has drawn attention to the circumstances of his release and the protective orders imposed before the alleged killing.

Police say officers entered the home on 23 October after a report of a disturbance involving a man with a knife, and found both adults with stab wounds; Alisha died at the scene. Iovenitti had been arrested in May on charges including assault and corporal injury to a spouse, and a judge set bail at $1,000 and ordered him to stay away from his wife and the family home. The couple’s three children are with relatives and friends; Iovenitti is in custody without bail and, if convicted, could face 29 years to life.
