Ex-Penn basketball star allegedly stabbed to death by wife

The wife of former University of Pennsylvania basketball star Matthew White has been charged of stabbing her husband to death in bed, according to a Philadelphia Inquirer report, citing court records.

White, 53, was sleeping when Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon stabbed him in the neck early Monday morning, according to the court record. She had gone to the kitchen for a glass of water and two knives, then returned to the bedroom and slipped the knives on her side of the bed.

After the stabbing, Garcia-Pellon changed her clothes and went to a friend's home, where she said White had allegedly been watching pornography on a computer, and she killed him.

The friend called 911.

"I caught him looking at pornography, young girls, I love kids," Garcia-Pellon told investigators, according to the Inquirer. "I had to do it."
