A friendly Easter greeting from father to daughter turned into a series of arguments that ended up hurting, with a 19-year-old girl facing charges of attempted murder.
The Easter attack follows two separate arguments between 19 and his parents after they told them they didn’t believe in God.
McKenzy Hafer is charged with two counts of attempted second-degree murder for second-degree murder to involve a violent dispute in her family home during Easter Sunday in Vancouver, Washington, on April 20.
When officers responded to the scene around 5:45 pm on the holiday, they found the defendant outside the home. Inside, both her parents suffered from knife wounds. Her brother Dakota is also at home under the law and crime, but is not involved in the shocking incident.
When Mackenzie’s father, Benjamin Hafer, wanted his daughter a “happy day of resurrection,” the whole dispute began with the whole dispute.
She responded that she did not believe in God, which sparked controversy. Finally, according to reports from CBS’s affiliate Koin, McKenzie succumbed and repeated her father’s phrase before the two entered a separate room.
However, while Mackenzie later cooked in the kitchen, her mother Erin Hetzler came in and had a face-to-face debate with her father. This sparked another argument between her and her daughter until Mackenzie threw her cell phone to the ground.
According to investigators, Benjamin then came in to find out what was going on and asked about the phone on the floor. It was at this point that Mackenzie allegedly told police that she grabbed a knife and stabbed her father with the abdomen above the abdomen of “intention to k!ll”.
Then, she said, she turned to her mother, slit her throat with the same knife, and cut it again with “intention to k!ll”.
The arrest affidavit says the parents’ wounds are consistent with her version of the incident. They both can survive.
McKenzy Hafer’s arraignment is scheduled to take place on May 5. She will be released on bail with a bail of $500,000.
