A Mountain Home woman has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of her son Sunday night in Mountain Home. Forty-four-year-old Rebecca Lynn Henley is being held on a $500,000 bond in connection with the incident.
Mountain Home Police Chief Edward Griffin says the 16-year-old victim’s name is not being released at this time.
Griffin says police were called to a residence on Walker Street around 10:30 Sunday night for a reported stabbing. Responding officers discovered the teen with a stab wound to his chest. He was taken to Baxter Regional Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Griffin says there was another juvenile family member in the home when the stabbing occurred, but the individual was not injured.
No other details have been released.
