MASONVILLE, N.Y. (TCN) — Troopers have announced the arrest of a 32-year-old man on suspicion of killing his pregnant wife and injuring his two young daughters.
On the night of Sept. 4, New York State Police responded to a home on Houck Road, where they found 29-year-old Samantha Garnier with suspected stab injuries. She was airlifted to Wilson Medical Center and later died. Troopers noted that Garnier was 5 months pregnant at the time.
According to state police, two children, ages 6 and 9, were also transported to hospitals but are expected to fully recover.
Upon further investigation, police determined Samantha Garnier’s husband, Drew Garnier, allegedly stabbed her and the two children. Officials took Drew Garnier into custody at the scene, and he was transported to a hospital. Upon his release, Garnier was remanded to the Delaware Jail without bond. He faces charges of second-degree murder and two counts of attempted second-degree murder.
In a statement obtained by WBNG-TV, Delaware County District Attorney Shawn Smith said his office is investigating potential legal actions to prosecute Garnier for the death of the unborn child.
According to state police, family members are caring for the two children.
