Police Investigate Gruesome Scene

"CAMDEN, NJ — Police are investigating what they believe to be the murder-suicide of a mother and child in Camden early Wednesday morning.

"Officials were called to a home around 12:30 a.m. on the 1400 block of Kaighns Avenue for a report of a domestic dispute.

"Police say upon their arrival a woman with a history of mental problems barricaded herself inside the home. She is apparently the one who called 9-1-1. What exactly was said on the phone is unclear, but authorities say she was arguing with a man who they believe was her boyfriend.

"SWAT teams were called to the scene, and when they entered the home they found the woman had stabbed herself to death. Before that, though exactly when is unclear, she is believed to have decapitated her 2-year-old child and then placed the toddler's head in the refrigerator.

"Police are questioning the man who is believed to be the boyfriend. Investigators were also searching the area around a car believed to belong to the man.

"Neighbors are understandably upset and stunned. They say they don't know much about this woman since she has only lived on the block for several months."
