Teens Planned To Eat Mother’s Liver: Cops

SPOKANE, Wash. — Two teenage boys have
been arrested in a bizarre sword attack on
one teen’s mother that reportedly included
a discussion of killing the woman and
eating her liver, a Spokane County sheriff’s
spokesman said Wednesday.
Spokane Valley deputies responding to an
assault call early Tuesday found the bloody
woman on her bed; next to her were two
knives and a sword with a bent handle. The
woman was hospitalized Wednesday in
stable condition, Deputy Craig Chamberlin
said. She was not identified.
“It doesn’t sound like she remembered the
attack,” Chamberlin said in a phone
interview. The woman told deputies the
sword handle wasn’t previously bent. It
wasn’t clear who called for help.
With no signs of forced entry into the
apartment, deputies went looking for the
victim’s 13-year-old son and a 14-year-old
friend.
The other boy’s father thought his son had
stayed with the 13-year-old, Chamberlin
said. Then the man noticed his Dodge
Durango SUV and its keys were missing.
Deputies tracked the teens through a crime
spree that included breaking into a home
and crashing the SUV into the side of a
mobile home. A K-9 finally located them.
The injured woman’s 13-year-old son told
deputies that his 14-year-old friend tried to
kill the mother with a sword, Chamberlin
said. The younger boy said he talked his
friend into trying to kill his mother because
he had taken “blue pills.” The spokesman
said it was unclear what the blue pills were.
The boy said he would never have done
anything like that sober, Chamberlin said.
The son also told deputies his friend tried
to talk him into eating his mother’s liver,
the sheriff’s spokesman said.
