PhotoA Georgia woman who the police believe fatally stabbed four of her children and her husband was charged with five counts of murder on Thursday. The woman, Isabel Martinez, 33, was discovered with the bodies of her family members inside a home in Loganville, Ga., a small city about 35 miles east of Atlanta, the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. In addition to the five counts of murder, Ms. Martinez was also charged with five counts of “malice murder” and six counts of aggravated assault. She is being held without bond, the sheriff’s office said. The authorities did not offer any clues as to a motive, though neighbors told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the woman’s father had died recently.
