Missing girls found brutally stabbed in NC, father arrested
Two young girls, a two-year-old and a four-year old, have been found “brutally” stabbed in the US State of North Carolina.
The two were identified as Genesis and Serenity Freeman respectively, ABC7 reported Saturday.
The bodies of the two who had gone missing were found as they were stabbed multiple times in a car parked in a wooded area of Raeford, a city in Hoke County.
"It's kind of hard to find the words to describe what this feels like," said Hoke County Sheriff Hubert Peterkin. "I know people read it, I know people see the story and hear about it, but to be out here on the scene and actually see this stuff, to see these children lifeless and brutally stabbed. ... I don't care how many years you've been in it. How many times you've been in it or seen things, this was not a good experience. Everybody's taking this real hard. Our heart goes out to the family, to the mother."
The father, who was in custody at the Fayetteville Police Department on Friday initially refused to say where the girls were. The 30-year-old man, who was then charged with two counts of child abuse and child neglect, was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
"From what our investigation's telling us they had a dispute, where (Freeman) allegedly made accusations about the babies not being his, a child not being his or maybe her involvement with someone, and when he took the kids we understand he left in a rage," Peterkin said.
A relative of the victims has described Freeman as an “abuser,” further saying, "I feel sad and hurt, but there's nothing I can do about it."
The children were apparently victims of domestic-related row in the family.
"From what our investigation's telling us they had a dispute, where (Freeman) allegedly made accusations about the babies not being his, a child not being his or maybe her involvement with someone, and when he took the kids we understand he left in a rage," Peterkin said.
