Plainfield 6 year old boy Stabbing, Joseph Czuba charged for stabbing
The Will County Sheriff’s Office said that a child was killed and a mother was seriously hurt in a stabbing early on Saturday morning in the southern suburbs.
In Plainfield, it occurred just before 11:40 a.m. A 32-year-old lady dialed 911 and said that her landlord had stabbed her. The caller said that she fled to the toilet and made an effort to fend off the assailant.
The house, which is on the 16200 block of South Lincoln Highway close to Lily Cache Road, was visited by sheriff’s deputies. Chopper 7 was circling the area.
Officers from the Plainfield Police Department and the Will County Sheriff’s Office responded and discovered a 71-year-old suspect sitting erect on the ground next to the home’s driveway. He was later taken to a nearby hospital after suffering a cut to his forehead.
The 32-year-old victim and the 6-year-old son were discovered by deputies inside a bedroom. More than a dozen knife wounds to the chest, torso, and arms had been inflicted upon each of them.
The youngster was taken in serious condition to a nearby hospital, where he was subsequently declared deceased, according to the sheriff’s office. She was admitted to the hospital in critical condition.
Tuesday night, a vigil will be held in memory of the 6-year-old kid who was fatally stabbed at his unincorporated Plainfield home over the weekend.
On Tuesday, there was still a lot of grief.
People gathered outside a Joliet hospital on Monday night to pray for his 32-year-old mother, who was also harmed in the attack that authorities are classifying as a hate crime on Saturday morning.

She answered, “Let’s pray for peace.”
She claimed he used a knife to attack her at that point.
The vigil will start at 8 p.m. on Tuesday at the Prairie Activity & Recreation Center.
