An Oklahoma
teenager has been booked on charges that he fatally stabbed five family members
and wounded a sixth, a 13-year-old sister who told police she was attacked by
two of her brothers, a probable cause statement released on Friday said.
Robert Bever,
18, is accused of five counts of first degree murder and one count of
aggravated assault and battery with a deadly weapon in the attack on Wednesday
at the family house in Broken Arrow, a Tulsa suburb, the statement said.
Police said
Bever and his 16-year-old brother have been interviewed by detectives and have
been cooperating with the investigation. The 16-year-old has not been charged
yet.
Police
responded to the house late Wednesday after a caller told dispatchers her
brothers were attacking their family. They found blood on or near the front
porch and when they knocked on the door heard a faint voice calling for help
from inside, the statement said.
They found the
girl bleeding from multiple stab wounds, a two-year-old girl upstairs was
unharmed. David Bever, 52; his wife April Bever, 44; two of their sons and one
daughter were found dead from multiple stab wounds, police said.
Police found
fresh footprints in the backyard leading away from the house and tracked the
brothers to a wooded area nearby where they were taken into custody, the
statement said.
