Texas brute charged with beating wife to death with iron, dumping her 4 dogs on the highway

A deranged Texas man is due in court Monday on allegations that he beat his wife to death with a clothing iron — after stealing her four pet dogs and dumping them on the freeway.

Chance Zane Chavez, 34, was hit with murder charges after police showed up at the couple’s Houston home last week and found him drenched in blood and the body of his battered 32-year-old wife, Kristen Chavez, in the bedroom, according to police.
