Huger, SC: Couple in Huger stabbing identified

HUGER -- The couple in what police call a stabbing murder-suicide have been identified.

Berkeley County Coroner Bill Salisbury said the deceased are Devon Williams, 32, and his wife, Lesha Williams, 31, of Huger. Deputies recovered a knife they believe Devon Williams used during the incident next to Francis Marion National Forest.

Deputies said they found Lesha Williams dead in the home of a relative near where the couple lived. Devon Williams was alive when authorities found him but was pronounced dead at a Mount Pleasant hospital.

Authorities don't know why the deadly violence flared.
