A 28-year-old Kentucky woman is accused of killing her 10-year-old son, whom police reportedly found in the truck of her car.
According to the Louisville Courier Journal, Kaitlyn R. Higgins tried cutting out Kyon Higgins Jr.’s tongue before fatally shooting the boy and placing him in the back of her automobile. Police found his body wrapped in a blanket shortly before 9:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Louisville Metro Police reportedly got a call from a witness who said they had seen Higgins with a gun and what appeared to be the boy’s dead body wrapped in a blanket. When they arrived, Higgins was on her porch, where police saw what they believe was blood. She was arrested early Wednesday morning and charged with murder and evidence tampering.
