An indictment announced on Monday revealed a horrifying incident in northern Minnesota, where a woman stands accused of killing two children, setting a house on fire, and fleeing with another child. The accused, Jennifer Marie Stately, 35, faces charges including premeditated murder, murder while committing child abuse, arson, murder while committing arson, and felony child neglect.
The victims, although not officially named by authorities, were reported by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune to be Stately's own children, aged 6 and 5. The indictment details that Stately allegedly attacked the children with a knife on March 15 at the Red Lake Indian Reservation, before setting the house ablaze and leaving with a third child, identified as her 3-year-old son.
