The boy allegedly stabbed the woman with both a knife and an axe. According to the crime report, she received “a large number of sharp-edged wounds to her neck, throat, face, chest and abdomen, where an injury to the rib cage caused blood and air to enter the left pleura, thereby causing life-threatening effects on her circulation.”
