Deborah Jane Martin, 43, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder by Illinois authorities on Monday
A suburban Chicago woman was arrested after authorities said a ‘bone-chilling’ 911 call incriminated her in the murder of her parents at their home after midnight on Saturday.
Deborah Jane Martin, 43, appeared in court on Monday after she was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Authorities allege that Martin fatally stabbed her parents, David, 72, and Anne, 71, several times in the home they shared in Arlington Heights.
Authorities say that police received a 911 call from Anne Martin at around 12:30am on Saturday, according to WLS-TV.
Anne Martin was unable to say anything discernible during the call.
‘The 911 audio captures the defendant's mother gasping for air and moaning,’ said Lorna Amado-Chevlin of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.
‘Within seconds of dispatch answering, sounds of movement are heard followed by the mother of the defendant gasping and pleading, “No, Debbie”.’
