BOSTON
A 42-year-old man was identified yesterday as the person who stormed into a South Boston housing development on Tuesday, stabbed his estranged wife, set fire to an apartment, and then jumped to his death. Boston police identified the man as Franklin Medina and said that it appeared he was not living in the Mary Ellen McCormack housing development where he attacked his wife Tuesday afternoon. Police would not release the name of Medina’s wife, but said she is recovering from her wounds at a Boston hospital. Police said that the couple’s two children were home at the time and that the state Department of Children and Families is playing a role in their care.
