KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Kansas City woman is in custody after authorities allege she decapitated her 6-year-old son. The Jackson County Prosecutor’s office said 35-year-old Tasha Haefs is charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action after her son’s body was found at the family home late Tuesday. A probable cause statement in the case said investigators found the child dead and Haefs with blood on her after responding to a call of a disturbance at the home in east Kansas City. The affidavit said Haefs admitted to decapitating her son in a bathtub. No other children were found in the home. She is being held on the Jackson County Jail on no bond.
