PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- A Pawtucket man is accused of using a hot skillet to burn his wife's body, searing her legs, groin, abdomen and breasts, and leaving her disfigured.
Danilo Cabrera, 42, was crying as Officer Alexander Smith walked into the Benefit Street apartment Saturday afternoon, said Pawtucket Police Maj. Arthur Martins. The 34-year-old woman was lying on a bed, in extreme pain, with burn marks over her body, according to a police report.
Smith arrested Cabrera and seized a small iron skillet that had burned skin attached to it, the report said.
Cabrera was charged with domestic felony assault and domestic disorderly conduct. Magistrate Joseph Ippolito Jr. arraigned Cabrera on Monday, setting bail at $50,000 with surety and issuing a no-contact order.
Cabrera remained held Tuesday at the Adult Correctional Institutions.
