Indiananapolis, IN: Police: Woman fatally stabbed, man and girl are hurt in domestic dispute

A Near-Eastside stabbing ended in the death of a woman, the arrest of the woman's husband and a stab wound to their 16-year-old daughter.

Police went to a residence in the 1200 block of Evison Street around 3 p.m. Sunday and found that three people had been stabbed. Kenneth Schaefer, 56, was sent to Wishard Memorial Hospital in serious condition. His wife of 23 years, Bobbie J. Schaefer, 41, was declared dead at the scene.

The couple's children were at home when the stabbings happened, and the 16-year-old daughter suffered what police called a non-life-threatening stab wound to the upper left arm. Investigators did not say what led to the girl being stabbed. A second girl was not injured.

Investigators said there had been a domestic dispute in the house that led to the stabbing, apparently involving the man and the woman. Kenneth Schaefer was arrested on preliminary murder charges at the hospital.

Police did not immediately say what led to the argument and the stabbing.
