Minnesota man identified as Robert Castillo fatally stabbed his wife, Corrina Woodhull, during Bible study at a St. Paul residence, according to a murder charge filed Thursday.
Robert Castillo, 40, and Corrina Woodhull, 41, were sitting on a couch in the Payne-Phalen home when Castillo whispered something in Woodhull’s ear.
After she shook her head “no,” Castillo pulled out a knife and stabbed her multiple times, a criminal complaint said.
The alleged assault unfolded in front of several witnesses around 9 p.m. Tuesday in a Saint Paul home, where Castillo’s sister lives and hosts a weekly Bible study.
By 9:39 that night, Woodhull was pronounced dead in the hospital, and Castillo was charged with second-degree murder, along with two other felonies.

“She loved her children so much.
