NYC Man Takes Pain Killers, Stabs Wife, Jumps From Bridge

[From article]
An out-of-work former MTA bus driver plunged a kitchen knife into his wife’s chest as she lay in bed Sunday morning — then jumped to his death from the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, neighbors and authorities said.

“It happens every summer,” the neighbor said. “Her face would be swollen up. She had a big bruise.”
“After he’d hit her, she’d go inside and wouldn’t come out afterwards,” the neighbor said.
“She didn’t have a way out; she used to say that she didn’t have a job and had to take care of the kids, so she had to stay with him.”
Another neighbor said Brian, who suffered a back injury and hadn’t been able to work in about two years, had become addicted to painkillers.
“Lately, he was taking too much oxycodone,” the neighbor said.
