Woman held in daughters' fatal stabbings

53 minutes ago

MACOMB TOWNSHIP, Mich. - A woman was arrested after her two daughters were found stabbed to death, authorities said.

The girls, ages 8 and 5, were found lying next to one another in a bedroom of the mobile home they shared with their mother in Macomb Township, about 30 miles northeast of Detroit, Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said. Police said they recovered several large bloody knives.

"It's an extremely horrific scene," Hackel said.

Police were notified Sunday night by the 30-year-old woman's sister, who found the suspect sitting alone amid the carnage. The sister was told by the suspect she had "hurt her kids," Hackel said. The stabbings took place late Saturday or early Sunday, he said.

Three small dogs and a pet mouse were also found dead in the home, the sheriff said. Police said the suspect suffered a self-inflicted, minor stab wound to her arm.

Hackel said the woman apparently had no criminal record but may have had "some mental health issues."

I wonder what "they" are drinking? Maybe some mixed meds or something?

Mental Health issues? OK, I do not have issue with that..so long as she gets the help she needs. Just hope her defense doesn' t try to play the Post partum Depression card....the youngest was 5 for gawd sake.

And the dogs and mouse too? What gives.

This was all over the evening news.

The woman worked at McDonalds and just couldn't make enough to get by - pay the bills, feed the kids, etc.

Yes, mental illness was mentioned and there was some mention of her hearing voices. It was also mentioned that she was under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
