Ashland Police have arrested Robin Morales-Sanchez Wednesday and an accomplice after a fatal stabbing in Ashland last Friday.

According to court documents, Robin Morales-Sanchez allegedly assaulted Moises Hernandez-Sanchez and then stabbed him in the torso 10 times and the neck once on the morning of July 30.

During this investigation, Ashland officers obtained several search warrants, ultimately revealing the location of Robin Morales-Sanchez in Iola, Kansas.

Ashland Police teamed with the Iola Police Department to close in on the location and IPD coordinated with the
Kansas Bureau of Investigations to execute the search warrant.

On Wednesday, KBI served a search warrant in the 400 block of S. Colborn St. in Iola, Kansas where they located Morales-Sanchez and Malki.

Morales-Sanchez was arrested for murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, and two counts of armed criminal action. Malki was arrested for hindering prosecution of a felony.

Both are in custody and awaiting extradition to Missouri, with no bond allowed.
