Man Surrenders in Wife's Death; Body Dumped in Garage

NEW YORK (AP)  -- Police say a man has surrendered in the stabbing death of his estranged wife, whose body was found dumped in a Manhattan parking garage.

Police said 42-year-old William Davila was in custody on Friday, and that charges were pending.

The body of 39-year-old Leonida Davila was discovered late Tuesday in the passenger seat of an SUV in a Lower East Side parking garage. The vehicle was registered to her husband.

The wife had been stabbed several times in the head, neck and body. Authorities said she and her husband had a long history of domestic violence.
