Before the murder, Castillo was “acting normal,” holding his wife’s hand and kissing her. At one point, Castillo whispered something into Corinna’s ear and then went berserk, stabbing her around 20 times, including in the heart, with a six-inch hunting knife that he carried for “protection.”
According to witnesses, the couple had marital problems and had not lived together before the stabbing, although they were still married.
His sister and brother, who were not named, saw Castillo stab Woodhull with a hunting knife. Woodhull attempted to grab Castillo’s hair to pull him off her, but his sister said family members had to intervene and pull him away.
After stabbing her, witnesses claimed the mother-of-five begged them not to let her die.
According to the arrest affidavit, Castillo was being held to the ground by several bible study members when police pounded on their door. Another witness told police they believed he would attack more people if he had not been disarmed.
Woodhull was found on the ground with severe torso, chest, and arms wounds, and she was rushed to Regions Hospital. Upon arrival, the mother-of-five was pronounced dead.
The County Medical Examiner’s Office has ruled her death a homicide.
Castillo was arrested and transported to the Ramsey County Jail, charged with second-degree murder, and held on a $5 million bond.

A family friend has started a GoFundMe to ‘raise money to help honor Corrina’s life and legacy.’
“Corrina was an advocate for those in recovery; she had a passion for helping others experiencing substance use disorder, domestic abuse, and violence. She loved her children so much. You would find Corrina most days helping at church…” the GoFundMe, which has raised $5,155 of its $20,000 goal.
