A 38-year-old Harlem nurse was charged with murder yesterday after bashing her enraged husband with a ceramic elephant and then plunging a knife into his chest, police said.
"I couldn't get him off me," Donna Cobb told police, insisting she acted in self-defense .after her husband started choking her. "He wouldn't stop," she added, according to the source. Cobb told police her husband, Kevin Cobb, 39, was hopped up on pot and alcohol after the couple hosted a Gameboy party at their apartment on St. Nicholas Place. The guests left - and so did the husband - but he came back about 6 a.m. and accused her of sleeping with another man. The wife told cops he jumped on her while she was in bed and started choking her. The 5-foot-5 woman tried to fight off her .muscular, 6-foot, 200-pound husband. "She grabbed the closest thing to her," the police source said. "It happened to be the elephant." The sculpture, found in one piece, was less than a foot tall, the source said. Donna Cobb told cops that after she bashed her husband with the elephant, he staggered away and then collapsed, the source said. Cobb initially denied stabbing her husband, but cops found a knife in the apartment believed to be the fatal weapon. The frantic wife dialed 911 about 6:20 a.m. and performed CPR on her dying husband. Paramedics rushed Kevin Cobb to Harlem Hospital, where his wife works. He was pronounced dead on arrival. After questioning her, police at the 30th Precinct stationhouse charged Cobb with murder last night. Neighbors and relatives said the couple had been married about two years and had three children together and three others from earlier relationships who also lived with them. No one had seen signs of trouble and cops said they had never investigated a previous domestic incident at that address. The kids, ages 7 to 19, weren't home at the time of the clash. The couple had planned a weekend to themselves, a source said. "They were just so cuddly," said a 20-year-old neighbor. "Everyone wanted that kind of relationship
