A Syracuse, Missouri, woman was charged on Wednesday after she allegedly stabbed a woman 18 times on Tuesday and punched another.
Grace Turley, 23, was charged with first-degree domestic assault, third-degree domestic assault and armed criminal action. She is being held at the Morgan County Jail without bond. A court date has not been set.
Deputies were called to a residence in Syracuse on Tuesday for a report of a stabbing, according to the probable cause statement. One woman was punched in the eye and deputies could see bruising. That same woman heard Turley screaming and was told by a second woman to call EMS as they ran out of the home, the statement says. Turley punched that woman shortly after, the statement says.
Another person brought the stabbed victim to an area hospital and law enforcement later learned she was stable, though she was stabbed 18 times, court documents say. Deputies found a pool of blood in the bathroom of the home, along with a 5-inch long knife, the statement says.
Turley allegedly told deputies that she stabbed one of the victims because they asked questions, which made her upset, the statement says. She allegedly told deputies that she wanted to kill the victim, court documents say. She also allegedly said she hit the other woman in her face because she hated her, the statement says.
