Valentino Gutierrez faces a court hearing to assess his mental competence regarding the murder of his wife, Tiana Alfred, who was killed on February 1, 2018. Gutierrez's defense attorney raised concerns about his mental state during a court appearance. The prosecution opposed this move in Pasadena Superior Court. Under law, a defendant is deemed mentally incompetent if unable to assist in defense or understand the proceedings. Gutierrez is alleged to have dismembered his wife's body, and the case is currently suspended pending the mental-competency hearing scheduled for July 31.
A court will determine if Valentino Gutierrez, accused of murdering his wife Tiana Alfred and dismembering her body, is mentally competent to stand trial.
Gutierrez is now 64 years old and has raised doubts about his mental competence during recent appearances in Pasadena Superior Court.
The couple, residing in Pasadena, saw a Social Security assistant manager before Alfred's death, indicating Gutierrez's disruptive behavior regarding her benefits.
Tiana Alfred, who died of strangulation on February 1, 2018, was 31 years old at the time of her death.
