Man Admits To Stabbing Stepfather, Accidentally Slashing Mother's Throat During Fight
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - A Sacramento man accused of trying to kill his parents spoke about the incident from behind bars on Tuesday.
Twins Cody and Kevin Martinez were arrested on Sunday after a family fight in the parking lot at an apartment complex on Robles Avenue in Sacramento took a violent turn. Police say the brothers pulled out knives and attacked their parents.
"I guess I snapped and stabbed him three times in the stomach," said Cody Martinez.
When his mother stepped in to help, he says he accidentally slashed her throat as well.
Telijah Brown, who witnessed the fight, says the mother came up to her with a hand over her throat and begged for help.
"She had a triangle-size gash in her throat," she said. "She took her hand off her throat and it was like a zombie film. Everything started slipping out."
Officers later arrested the twins for the attack.
The victims were listed in serious condition at a local hospital.
Kevin denies stabbing anyone, but admits to punching his stepfather during the fight.
