Ramulo Estrada killed his wife, Mercedes, and daughter Conchita — then committed suicide — because Mercedes didn’t ask him before painting the bedroom pink.

According to The Times, Mercedes, 42 and Conchita, 19, were living in the home at 529 S. Pecan St., while her estranged husband, Ramulo, lived in a small house at the rear of the property.

Mercedes’ brother Rafael Andejas, who lived at 523 S. Pecan St., told police that she had recently filed for divorce after being separated for more than a year.

Rafael said he had been visiting his sister when Ramulo arrived and began a friendly argument over the color scheme of the bedroom.

He went home but rushed back when he heard his sister scream, just in time to see Ramulo raise a butcher knife and slit his own throat after stabbing Mercedes and Conchita.

All three died en route to the Georgia Street Receiving Hospital, The Times said.
