GWINNETT COUNTY, GA – A horrific story unfolding out of Georgia where a woman has been accused of stabbing four of her young children to death, along with her husband.
Officers got a 911 call from the woman inside the home just before 4:50 a.m. Thursday.
When they arrived at the home, they found the woman’s husband and four children dead. A fifth child was taken to the hospital in serious condition. It appears that all the victims were stabbed.
Police have not released the names of the family, but say the husband was in his 30s. Their neighbor said the family’s youngest child is a toddler and the oldest is 7-years-old.
Police believe the woman was with her family for at least 24 hours after they had been stabbed. The deceased male’s borther said the family had just returned from the beach and he talked to him over the phone Wednesday at about 2:30 p.m. and nothing seemed wrong.
However, around two hours later, a boy in the neighborhood knocked on their door to see if the kids wanted to ride bikes like they normally do and no one answered the door.
Obviously, the close-knit community is shocked. “She seemed so normal, like regular mother,” said neighbor Letty Perez. “She was good, went to our church last weekend, she was there with us.”
Neighbors also said the family had recently moved into the mobile home from Illinois and that the woman was depressed over the recent passing of her father.
“She said her dad passed away months ago, she was in depression and we go to her house and pray sometimes for her dad,” Perez said.
Police say that the crime scene was contained inside the home and that they have no other suspects aside from the mother who they have not named at this time.
“What prompts a person to take the life of such innocent children and her spouse is something we may never understand,” Gwinnett police Cpl. Michele Pihera said. “This is a horrendous crime not only for the victims but for the extended family, neighborhood and community.”
