Children in Independence report stabbing death of their mom

4277350


     (AP) – Independence police detectives say three young

children spent the night in the same home as their mother, who was allegedly

stabbed to death by the children’s father.

     The Kansas City Star reports that authorities were alerted of the incident

when two of the couple’s children told their teachers that their father stabbed

their mother to death.

     Officer Luis Virgil says authorities were moved by what the children endured

and began filling a candy jar with donations. By Wednesday the police department

employees chipped in more than $1,400.

     The Independence community also contributed to the family. Best Buy donated

three Android tablets for the children.

     Vincente Roldan-Marron has been charged with first-degree murder in the

stabbing death of Yadira Gomez. Roldan-Marron told authorities he blacked out

after drinking alcohol and taking pills and couldn’t remember what happened.
