A former Green Beret went berserk and stabbed his wife to death yesterday as her screaming, 10-year-old daughter ran barefoot from their home, Suffolk police and neighbors said. The child's bloodcurdling cries of "Daddy, stop, I think you killed her!" roused neighbors on quiet West Drive in Bay Shore and prompted 911 calls, but they were too late to save Regina MacFarlane, 39.
After stabbing his wife in the neck and body with a kitchen knife, Elden MacFarlane, 36, calmly sat on the stoop of his two-story home, lit a cigarette and waited for cops to come, neighbors said.
When they arrived, police said Elden MacFarlane offered no resistance and helpfully put his hands out to be cuffed. He was charged with murder.
Neighbors said the bloodshed came after months of loud arguments, when the husband could be heard shouting things like, "Don't disrespect me. Don't talk to me like that."
They said he had a history of mental problems and that his wife signed him out of an institution just before they were married a year ago.

A 10-year-old girl ran from house to house in Bay Shore Friday morning, yelling, "My daddy's killing my mother!"
After neighbors called the police, they said the girl's stepfather, Elden MacFarlane, walked out of the house at 6 West Dr. and sat on the steps of his home smoking a cigarette. He had a knife at his side, neighbors said.
