mother charged in stabbing deaths of kids
hoffman estates, ill. - the mother of a 9-year-old boy and 3-year-old girl who were fatally stabbed more than 200 times each inside their suburban chicago home was charged friday with two counts of first-degree murder, authorities said.
tonya vasilev, 34 — a heavy bandage covering her left wrist — appeared in court friday afternoon and answered the judge’s questions in a soft, shaking voice. the judge appointed a public defender to represent her and ordered her held without bail.
the children’s father, nikolai vasilev, discovered the bloody scene when he returned to their home wednesday night with a friend who had been living with the family, prosecutor richard karwaczka said.
vasilev spotted his 9-year-old son, christian, lying on the floor in the kitchen in a pool of blood, karwaczka said. the father scooped him up and carried him to the front door, where he frantically called 911. then he and the friend started up the stairs. at the top of the stairs, they found the vasilevs’ 3-year-old daughter, grace, dead from stab wounds, the prosecutor said.
"right next to grace was the defendant, tonya, sitting there with a knife," he said.
the mother was taken to the police station for questioning, where karwaczka said she admitted stabbing the children.
emergency crews tried to resuscitate the boy when they arrived, but couldn’t save him, hoffman estates police lt. rich russo said friday. inside the home, he said, officers found several knives believed to have been used to kill the children.
"it really doesn’t get much worse than this," said russo. the autopsies showed that both children tried to fight off their attacker, he said.
the stabbings came five years after the couple’s 3-month-old daughter died in a fire at an elk grove village town house where the family then lived. the cause of the 2000 fire remains undetermined, but foul play was never suspected, said larry hammar, deputy chief of the elk grove village police.
hammar said his department will investigate that fire again. the mother was home at the time of the blaze.
village police said at the time that tonya vasilev left the baby in a carrier in the laundry room while she went to check on another of her children. she noticed smoke coming from the window a short time later.

孩子的父亲和朋友周三晚上回到家，发现了这一血腥场面。他发现9岁的儿子躺在厨房地板上的血泊里，急忙抱儿子到前门并拨打911。而当他们到达顶楼时，发现其3岁的女儿grace已经死于刺伤，grace旁边则坐着拿着刀的被告－－母亲tonya。
tonya被带到警察局讯问。她对刺伤孩子的罪行供认不讳。
警察russo周五说，男孩因抢救无效已经死亡。现场验证表明，凶手曾用好几把刀来刺孩子，两个孩子都曾试图反抗其母亲的伤害；他说，没有比这更残忍的了。
这场谋杀距这对夫妇的3个月大的女儿死于一场火灾已有5年了。当年那场火灾的起因尚无定论。火灾发生的当时，这位母亲就在家里。警方称，他们将再次对当年的火灾进行调查。
