Woman stabs husband, 4 children to death

A 33-year-old woman, Isabel Martinez, has allegedly stabbed her husband and four of their children in their home
Officers of Gwinnett police station, in Atlanta, USA were called to a Loganville residence at about 11 a.m. on Thursday, when neighbours found the man and the children dead from apparent stab wounds.

Police said the woman was inside the home with the bodies of her husband, Martin Romero, 33, and the remains of the four children: Axel, 2, Dillan, 4, Dacota, 7, and Isabela, 10.
A sixth victim, 9-year-old Diana, was another of the couple’s children. She was airlifted to Children’s Health Care of Atlanta and was in serious condition.

A Court order was obtained which directed that Martinez be held in police custody without bond after she was quickly charged with five counts of murder, six counts of aggravated assault and five counts of “malice murder.”
