A mother and two of her children were found stabbed to death on Wednesday after police were called to their apartment by her injured son, who survived a stabbing rampage that took place at least a day earlier, authorities said.
Authorities said they had no suspects, but Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said the stabbings appeared to stem from a family dispute over money. He said authorities wanted to speak with an uncle of the children, but that no arrest warrants had been issued and the person was not considered a suspect.
Only one person is believed responsible for the killings, which probably took place late Monday or early Tuesday, DeFazio said.
``The bodies were found together in one room. It was an extremely bloody scene,'' he said.
The surviving boy, believed to be 8- or 9-years-old, was stabbed 10 times and lapsed in and out of consciousness before managing to dial 9-1-1 at about 11:14 a.m. Wednesday, authorities said.
``The child was seriously injured, regained consciousness, and called police,'' DeFazio said.
The boy was taken to Jersey City Medical Center. His condition was not immediately available, but police talked to him when they arrived at the apartment and expected him to survive.
The mother, her approximately 13-year-old daughter and a son of about 6 were slain, authorities said. DeFazio said identification of the dead was awaiting notification of next of kin, who had yet to be found.
DeFazio said the father of the children lives in Jersey City but is not believed to be involved in the killings. Authorities did not know the status of that man's relationship with the mother.
Which technician?? Did Grissome get it? Katherine? Sarah (my personal favorite)??
All the info is posted. See posts 28 and 32.
I never heard there was a connection, how did I miss that....hmmmmmmm. And then, there's some connection between Stewart and Cindy Sheehan, mayhap no more than they spoke at the same event.
Stewart headed up IAC in Jersey City. Sheehan is a member of IAC.
Even the stories on television can't make this stuff up.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
Thanks for keeping me up with this.
The story of the Coptic family really got under my skin.
Thnx for ping, family feud is the theory.
Thanks--it is always my first instinct. Prayers for the victims.
I had thought the same thing.
