Mother decapitates her 6-year-old son and her dog with a kitchen knife: “The devil was trying to attack me”

The residents of Missouri, in Kansas City, United States, are dismayed. The murder of a 6-year-old boy at the hands of his own mother, was the most Dantesque and inconceivable scene, after the police entered the building and found him dead and decapitated.

Through a 911 call, 35-year-old Tasha Haefs alerted police to what was happening at her home on Indiana Avenue. “The devil is trying to attack me,” she said and in an attempt to find out more, she was asked if she suffered from any mental illness and she denied it to immediately hang up, the New York Post portal published.

Officers who responded to the Jackson County home were unable to gain access to the home. When she arrived, the woman sang and hearing that they were still there waiting for her to open, she raised her voice with her song.

He beheaded his son and the dog

Faced with Haefs’s refusal not to want to open the door, the agents leaned out of one of the windows of the residence and observed the heartbreaking scene: a decapitated child. At that time, they decided to enter the force to arrest the woman.

Little Karvel Stevens’ blood was found smeared on the front steps and his body on the kitchen floor. After the search carried out in the house, they noticed another overwhelming scene, when they found a decapitated dog in the basement area.

Next to the body of the pet there were two knives and a screwdriver covered in blood, which suggests that they were the weapons with which he took the life of his son and the canine.

Tasha Haefs had scratch-like wounds on her hands, and traces of blood on her feet and thighs, where a puncture wound was observed.

The woman was held without bond and charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action, for which she remains in the Jackson County Detention Center. Prosecutors ordered the respective mental evaluation.

The crime of the child has the city in shock. The mayor of Kansas, Quinton Lucas spoke through his networks, warning of the need to avoid this type of tragedies.

“We still don’t know why a primary school child was killed this morning, but we understand the pain that a family, a school and a community are suffering,” he said starting his Twitter message.

While the county prosecutor, Jean Peters Baker, lamented the death of the minor. “The community now knows some of the horrific details of the death of this 6-year-old boy, it takes our breath away.” (I)
