Marriage is about team work. Like raising a child. Or holding down an intruder while your spouse stabs them.
As her husband fought with an trespasser, the woman grabbed a knife and stabbed the stranger to death, said sheriff investigators. The corpse apparently was the same man who robbed the woman in the North Bend, WA home Sunday, just 12 hours earlier! The couple's baby daughter and the wife's mother were also in the home about 1:40 a.m. this morning when the couple were awakened by barking dogs.
The intruder entered the house through an unlocked door Sunday and assaulted the wife, getting away with some cash. She didn't get a good look at him because her hair was grabbed from behind, slapped and punched in the face, and suffered an ankle injury when she was dragged by her hair. I'm going to guess that she was thrilled to have a second shot at her assailant with less disadvantage.
Investigators don't believe the residents know the intruder and there's nothing to indicate why the house was attacked, let alone twice. But let that be a warning to would-be robbers and thieves - returning to the scene of the crime can exacerbate any preexisting conditions, like say, knife allergies.
