Shortly after 7:40 a.m., Alyssa Castro and her boyfriend are in their car in their south Wichita neighborhood when a neighbor waves them down.
As the woman approaches, they see what appears to be blood on the woman’s hands. The woman asks to borrow a phone to call 911, then takes off with the phone back into a house.
911 dispatch is called about a possible stabbing and relays a message to first responders that a woman says there has been a stabbing in her home.
Dispatch relays information that the person calling says the stabbing was in self-defense. She was trying to save herself from her mother.
Arriving at the home at 7:52 a.m., Wichita police find a woman outside the home with cuts on her hands and blood on her clothing.
Inside the house, they find 81-year-old Anita Avers unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds. Both women are taken to the hospital.
