Matt White, a former University of Pennsylvania basketball star who played on the Quakers’ 1979 Final Four team, was asleep in his bed Monday night when his wife, Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon stabbed him in the neck.
Adding to this bizarre crime, Garcia-Pellon then changed her clothes, went to a friend’s place and allegedly told her that she had caught White watching child pornography and killed him. Her friend called the authorities, to which Garcia-Pellon had this to say:
“I caught him looking at pornography, young girls, I love kids…I had to do it.” Garcia-Pellon has been charged with first degree murder, criminal homicide and possession of an instrument of crime.
White was 55 years old.
