Newlywed husband wanted in slaying of bride

THE groom is being sought in the stabbing death of his young bride hours after their marriage - his new wife's body found in a bathtub in the silver sequin cocktail dress she wore at her wedding reception and possibly at the wedding itself, US police said yesterday.
The manhunt continued for 30-year-old Arnoldo Jimenez, who is wanted on a first-degree murder warrant in the slaying of Estrella Carrera, 26, shortly after they celebrated their marriage with friends, police in suburban Burbank said.
"It was a very brutal killing," Capt. Joseph Ford of the Burbank Police Department told The Associated Press later yesterday. "We do our jobs every day, of course. But something like this really motivates you to work even harder."
It is possible that Carrera was also married in the short, shimmering dress in which she was killed, Ford said.
After they were married Friday afternoon at Chicago's City Hall, the couple had dinner with friends at a restaurant, then headed to a nightclub in a party limousine. They were last seen at 4am Saturday, and Carrera's body was found in her Burbank apartment Sunday.
