A Washington state man has been arrested after allegedly killing his mother and turning himself in to the authorities. The incident took place in Island County, Washington. According to the Island County Sheriff’s Department (ICSD), a man approached an anonymous person on the street and confessed to committing a crime, stating that he wanted to report it. The individual who received the confession called 911, informing the authorities that the man had “blood on his hands.”
Upon arriving at the scene, deputies found the man with dried blood on his hands and blood stains on his pants. The suspect informed them that he lived nearby with his parents in a camp trailer, and that his mother was dead. He provided details of the assault he had allegedly carried out, as well as the location of the weapons used.
The deputy proceeded to the trailer and discovered the lifeless body of an adult woman inside. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was found lying on the floor with blood on the right side of her neck. She was declared dead at the scene.
Law enforcement took the 32-year-old suspect into custody and charged him with second-degree murder. He has been booked into the Island County Jail. The victim’s name will not be released until her next of kin has been notified by the Island County Coroner.
This tragic incident underscores the importance of investigating the circumstances surrounding the alleged crime. The Island County Sheriff’s Department is working diligently to gather all the necessary evidence and ensure a thorough investigation.
