By Brian Hews

An arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a West Covina nurse over the weekend whose lifeless body was found in the back of her car at a parking lot of a local casino in Hawaiian Gardens.

On Monday morning, Los Angeles County Homicide investigators arrested Thomas Infante, 60, for the murder of his wife, victim Charita Tolentino, age 57.

Investigators served a search warrant at the West Covina home of the victim and suspect where they located evidence which implicated the suspect in the victim’s murder. It appears from the evidence that the suspect killed the victim at the location and then transported her body in a car, which he parked and abandoned in the parking lot of the Hawaiian Gardens Casino.

The victim and the suspect lived at the location together and have a 17 year old daughter who also lives at the location with them.

The Suspect is being held on $1,000,000 bail.
