A Missouri woman has been charged with killing her boyfriend with a sword on Christmas Eve.
Cape Girardeau Police said 32-year-old Brittany Wilson was found outside the home she shared with her boyfriend with blood on her clothing, and a sword was lying in the front yard. Cape Girardeau is in southeast Missouri about 185km south of St Louis.
KFVS television reported that a woman had called police shortly after 11pm on Friday to report that she had killed her boyfriend with a sword.
After officers arrested Wilson, they went inside the home and found her boyfriend, 34-year-old Harrison Stephen Foster, dead with several fresh stab wounds.
Wilson told police that she and Foster had taken methamphetamine earlier in the day. She also told investigators that she believed Foster had several other entities living in his body, and she was setting him free by stabbing him.
