TULSA, Okla. (KOTV) — On the same day a judge said a Broken Arrow teen charged with murdering his family will be tried as an adult, autopsy reports released Monday (Oct. 12) show the victims were stabbed more than 100 times.
It’s the most gruesome crime Broken Arrow has seen, and the autopsies of the Bever family members reveal more disturbing details.
Based on the reports, the mother was the target of the attacks with 48 stab wounds. A family counselor said that may give some indication to what went on in the home.
Just as gut-wrenching as the crime scene the day after the murders are the details in the autopsy reports.
According to the reports, the mother, April Bever, was stabbed 48 times, the father, David, 28 times, 12-year-old Daniel, and 7-year-old Christopher, were both stabbed seven times, and 5-year-old Victoria, more than a dozen times.
The wounds cover their bodies – backs, chests, even hands and arms – indicating they tried to fight back against their attackers.
