On Monday, Anthony Paruolo, 37, was arraigned on charges including second-degree murder and endangering the welfare of a child, Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly said in a statement. He is accused of killing his wife, Danielle DeLuca on Oct. 6.
He pleaded not guilty and was sent back to jail without bail.
“With their child in a neighboring bedroom, the defendant allegedly brutally attacked his wife, stabbing her multiple times with a chef’s knife, killing her,” Donnelly said in the statement.
“Earlier that evening, the victim allegedly called her sister to tell her that she and the defendant would be divorcing. This horrendous crime has left a child without a mother. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family as we prosecute this case,” Donnelly said.

At about 11:40 p.m. that night, the prosecutor said that Nassau County Police Department officers responded to a call about an alleged domestic disturbance at the defendant’s North Bellmore home.
Responding officers found Danielle DeLuca dead in a pool of blood. A chef’s knife approximately 13 inches long was in her neck, and she had stab wounds to her head, neck, and torso.
