A devastating family dispute in Wichita, Kansas, has resulted in a murder charge for Isaiah Langkiet, who is accused of fatally stabbing his grandmother, Elvera Langkiet. The confrontation, which occurred on August 30, 2025, reportedly began when Elvera criticized Isaiah’s laundry skills.
Disturbing details about the attack emerged on October 2, 2025, following the release of a court affidavit obtained by local media, including KWCH. The document alleges that after Elvera, 64, criticized how Isaiah, 24, did laundry, he slapped her before retrieving a kitchen knife and stabbing her in the neck. After she fell, he allegedly stabbed her again before fleeing the scene without attempting to help. Police arriving at the scene found Elvera on the kitchen floor, bleeding heavily.
