"James L. Bonewits, 27, faces two counts of Murder and two counts of
Attempted Murder related to the violence that unfolded around 7:20 p.m.
Thursday in the 600 block of Whitelock Street, near the county
fairgrounds.
So many people in Huntington are still
shocked after a quadruple stabbing happened in the city leaving a couple
dead. Family members are remembering them and calling for justice.
Katelyn
and Danny England were fatally stabbed in Huntington Thursday night.
Police say two other people were stabbed as well and are in critical
condition. Katelyn’s sister, Jessica Houston, says the couple was loving
and cared for so many. She says they’re leaving behind a four-year-old
son and 2-year-old triplets.
Huntington City Police say it all happened Thursday night when they
received a call about a stabbing in a home on Whitelock Street. Police
arrested the suspect 27-year-old James Bonewits for the crime Friday
morning.
He was first seen in court Monday.
--When officers arrived and found a woman on the ground in front of a home
suffering from multiple stab wounds, and a man on a back porch with a
severe cut to his arm and a large laceration to his chest.
The man – identified as Danny England – was pronounced dead
at the scene. The woman – Katelyn (Huddleston) England – would die at a
hospital later.
--Inside the back door of a home, another man – Beau Williamson – was
found with numerous cuts to his torso. “I don’t want to die,” he said
repeatedly, the affidavit said.
--Another man was found on the floor of a bathroom also suffering from
numerous cuts to his torso. Terry Saulmon II told investigators he heard
screaming and found his neighbor on the ground outside and when he went
outside a man with “dark scraggly hair” and dark facial hair attacked
him with knives with orange handles, the affidavit said.
About an hour before the violence on Whitelock Street, a suspicious
person report was made in Bluffton, “with a male fitting our suspect’s
description,” the affidavit said. In that situation, police were called
to the Family Farm and Home store on a report that a man was there
holding two orange-handled knives, the affidavit said.
The man drove off in a silver sedan before police arrived.
Police were able to find the suspect’s vehicle with traffic footage,
and found it was registered to Bonewits.
--Around 9 p.m. then, police in Madison County received a report about a
suspicious vehicle that was parked in a vacant property. Deputies were
told a male parked a silver Impala there and walked toward a wood line.
When police arrived, inside the vehicle, they found two knives with
orange handles and blood on them sitting in the car, the affidavit said.
--Around 10 a.m. the next morning, Bonewits was found in a field in
Madison County. His clothing was stained in blood, the affidavit said.
He was taken into custody and later transported back to Huntington
County." WANEtv
