VIOLENT EX-COP HUBBY EYED IN BRONX MOM'S MURDER

HEARTACHE in the Bronx. The body of a missing mother of four has been found and fingers are pointing at her abusive ex-cop husband. The body of Tina Adovasio was discovered in a wooded area of Westchester County, north of New York City Wednesday night.
So far, no cause of death but cops believe the pretty 40-year-old was choked to death.
Now, her thuggish ex-hubby, Edwin Coello, 40, is expected to turn himself in. Coello's marriage was marked by frequent violent domestic disputes and she finally filed for divorce last month. Then, she took out a restraining order--apparently to no avail.
According to the NY Daily News: During questioning after her disappearance, Coello seemed to be the "helpful husband" until about 12 hours in when detectives asked to look at his car. He refused and clammed up, sources said. He did tell detectives Adovasio scratched him before storming out of their home Friday night, sources told the News.

"It was as if he knew what was going to happen so he told us that they had fought earlier and she had scratched him, in case we found his skin under her fingernails," one source close to the probe said.

The case is now being investigated by Westchester County, Yorktown Heights and the NYPD. The hard-working mom was last seen Friday night.
