Awful!

This is a horrific crime. What a miracle that 2 children survived, thanks to the bravery of a neighbor who interrupted the attack. The suspect was known to the victims. In crimes like this, I can only imagine it must be meth, mental illness, or pure blind rage. No matter though, it is simply awful.

As tragic as the outcome is, that neighbour is an absolute hero.

That little 7 year old is a hero too as she tried to save the woman being stabbed.

As tragic as the outcome is, that neighbour is an absolute hero.

I agree.

Ozarks First has an interview with Dylan's Uncle.

This heroic child was just visiting mom with sister Alisa, and he is dead? Deceased? Never coming back, ever?

"GOD BLESS THE CHILD THAT'S GOT HIS OWN"

This has to end. Stop. Our children are NOT supposed to be "heroic"!

RIp beautiful boy! I am so sorry you were failed!

BREAKING: Charges filed against boyfriend in New Year's Eve double murder

Published on Jan 1, 2021

"A probable cause statement from the Springfield Police Department, detailing the events leading to the arrest and charging of Brandon King, has been obtained by KOLR10, Ozarks Fox, and Ozarks First.

According to the police document, officers were dispatched to a home on W. Scott Street after receiving a call reporting a female (later said in the document to be 14-year-old) was seen outside the home with her throat cut.

During that initial call to police, the phone was handed to a man who said he rushed to the house, kicked open the door, and saw a bald man with a white shirt standing inside. That bald man, according to the male caller, ran away toward the back of the house. The caller said he was able to pull another young female (specified in the document to be seven years old) from the house after the bald man ran away."

"During interrogation, the probable cause statement says, King admitted to stabbing the 13-year-old, the 32-year-old, and the 14-year-old girl – adding that he “hoped he didn’t get” the seven-year-old rescued by the neighbor.

“As the interview progressed,” the probable cause statement says. “Brandon admitted he decided on 12/30/2020 to kill everyone in the house because he was currently facing a new charge in Christian County and he was going to flee the state. Brandon said he knew about some money at the house he could steal from [the 32-year-old]’s mother, and he wanted to steal [her] mother’s van. Brandon decided to kill everyone because he didn’t want to leave any witnesses to the theft.”

Brandon told interrogators he waited until all of the people inside the house on W. Scott were asleep. Investigators say Brandon admitted to stabbing the young male, and the 14-year-old female first – adding that the commotion from stabbing the 14-year-old woke the 32-year-old female in the other room."

"It was during this exchange, King reported, he heard a man knocking at the door and yelling at him not to hurt the kids. King says that the man kicked the door open and pointed a gun at him, at which point he threw his knife and ran away.

Brandon told investigators if the man hadn’t kicked the door in, he would’ve continued attacking the seven-year-old and intended to kill her."

Full criminal complaint and probable cause statement attached here Victims Identified in New Year's Eve Double Murder; Boyfriend Charged

It details the horrific injuries, the incredible timing of the neighbour's intervention and goes on to document BK's disgusting excuse that he wanted to kill everyone to remove any witnesses to the THEFT (unsure if this refers to the intended theft of money or the previous forgery). I am so sad for Stephanie that she got tangled up with this parasite and it cost her and her son their lives. I hope the younger daughter can stay with her sister and they have a healthy solid home to overcome this trauma.



This article is from the neighbour's perspective. That hero's name is Cory Arb.

Springfield man says he “kicked in door” to save injured child in deadly stabbings

And what's more pheomenal, Cory was almost killed in a car crash in 2018 which you can find via google. If you ever are in doubt that there is a purpose for your life, remember this story.
