Man charged with murdering his wife and attempted suicide returns to Eagle Pass
On Monday October the 14th at approximately 8:03 p.m. Homero Herrera, Eagle Pass resident who is charged with murdering his wife by multiple stabbings and then attempting to commit suicide, arrived at the local police department accompanied by detectives. Homero Herrera is charged with the murder of his wife Mrs. Blanca Herrera last Wednesday October 9th near 10 p.m. at his home located on Medina St. Herrera was taken to San Antonio that same night suffering from an attempted suicide with lacerations to the throat. On Monday afternoon he was discharged in San Antonio and police detectives escorted him and brought him directly to the offices of the Eagle Pass Police Department . As seen in the photo Mr. Herrera is shown exiting the rear of a detective's vehicle and walked out in handcuffs, the wound to his neck is evident. Justice of the Peace Teresa Melendrez was called to set Homero Herrera's bail, the judge informs us that no bail was set and Herrera will remain in police custody, possibly because of the cruelty of the crime and/or to prevent Herrera from hurting himself. Detectives are piecing the motives together and it is expected that a clearer picture of the details of that night will become clearer as well as the motive.
