Trial begins in grisly 2005 stabbing

ANCHORAGE - Jurors in an Anchorage courtroom are listening to testimony in the murder trial of 37-year-old Jimmy Korkow.

He's accused of beating and stabbing his wife, Teresa, to death in 2005 in their south Anchorage home.

Defense attorneys hope to show that Korkow did not intend to kill his wife and that he should not be convicted of first-degree murder.

The couple's three daughters were at home when she was killed.
