The pastor of a maternal great-grandmother of the five children brutally stabbed by their 25-year-old mother which result in three of them dying in Italy, Texas, last Friday blamed the attack on mental illness and urged the public to pray for the two children who survived and their grieving family members.
Family members say they were trying to get custody of a 6-year-old boy who was killed by his mother. She has been arrested for stabbing three of her children to.
