Milford Police Chief Robert Tusino, a trained EMT, intervened and revived her.
“It was a significant loss of blood inside the apartment,” stated Chief Tusino. “We have two things to do deal with at the time, rendering aid to the victim and clearing the house and searching for other victims.”
Police discovered the father dead in the basement, with a stab wound to the chest.
“Family members that know the couple and have dealt with the couple, they had some concerns and were the first to come over to the house,” said Worcester County District Attorney Joe Early. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the wife right now, the mother of those four children. Pray for her right now; we’re hoping for the best.
According to investigators, the children are 14, 10, seven, and five years old and were at school when the tragedy occurred. Their family services unit spoke with the children and stayed with them to ensure their safe placement with family members.
Police said they have no call history with the pair. They’re now trying to discover what caused the awful domestic violence.
“She’s gone through some serious operations and certainly we look forward to a good outcome for her, but we’re cautiously optimistic,” replied Chief Tusino.
The man’s and woman’s names will not be disclosed until their families are notified. Police stated that there is no risk or harm to the public.
