Allen said the victim had two children, who did not witness the crime, and sources tell the I-Team’s Dan Noyes that the children were inside the home at the time. The I-Team obtained law enforcement records of the incident, which said just before noon, reports came in that the woman’s head had been cut by a sword. At 12:14 p.m. “The children are there, they are afraid to come … they want their mom.” CPS took custody of the 7- and 1-year-old girls, along with a dog and two cats that were also inside the home.

Allen said during a press conference. “They began processing the scene and shortly thereafter, the male suspect returned to the scene and was quickly apprehended by sheriff’s officials. He was later arrested for murder. We can confirm that a knife was used in the crime. This weapon is still outstanding.” The search for the weapon continues.
