Son accused of fatally stabbing his mother at Fort Worth home, police say
A woman was stabbed to death at a house in far north Fort Worth on Friday night, and police said the victim’s son is the suspect.
Officers were called just before 9 p.m. to a home in the 4800 block of Cargill Circle, where they found the homicide victim, police said in a news release. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as 51-year-old Mirlande Ciprien.
The preliminary investigation found that a domestic altercation between the mother and her adult son occurred at the house, police said.
Investigators found the suspect nearby and arrested him. He was taken to a hospital to be treated for a possibly self-inflicted wound, police said.
Jail records identify the suspect as 21-year-old Malachyah Ciprien. He was booked in the Tarrant County Jail on Saturday and faces a murder charge. Bond has not been set, and it’s unclear whether he has a defense attorney to represent him in the case.
