Christmas Eve turned into a scene from Halloween after a 32-year-old Missouri woman allegedly stabbed her boyfriend with a sword, killing him inside their Cape Girardeau home.
According to the Cape Girardeau Police Department, Brittany A. Wilson was arrested in connection to the stabbing death of 34-year-old Harrison Stephen Foster. The police were called to the home around 11 p.m. after “suspicious activity” was reported.
“Cape Girardeau Police Department were dispatched to the area of Barberry near Quince Street for a report of suspicious activity. Upon arrival, officers located an adult female standing outside of a residence with apparent blood on her clothing,” a statement posted to Facebook read. “The female subject was later identified as Brittany A. Wilson, a 32-year-old female from Cape Girardeau. Officers detained Wilson, and additional officers entered the home to check up on the safety of any additional residents.”
The statement continued, “Officers located a deceased male in the basement of the residence who had apparent, fresh stab wounds on his body. This 34-year-old male was later determined to be Wilson’s boyfriend and a resident of the home. The victim’s full identity will not be released until confirmation is received that all of his family members have received proper notification.”
KFVS reported that Brittany revealed that she and Harrison had consumed meth earlier in the day. She claimed that her deceased boyfriend harvested human body parts over several months. Brittany reportedly impaled the man saying that she was “setting him free” of entities that dwelled inside him. Harrison had been stabbed three times before the suspect called the police to report the incident.
The 32-year-old woman was charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action. She’s being held at Cape Girardeau Municipal Jail on a $2 million cash bond.
