University Park police say the young children of a murdered woman witnessed her death and even tried to stop it. The boys' father, Tim Richardson, was arrested for the September 19 slaying of his wife Mary. Police say at least one boy saw his father strangle his mother with a lamp cord. The child said he got scissors to cut her free, but that his father knocked them out of his hand and used them to cut Mary Richardson. His whereabouts are being electronically monitored.
Police say they have enough evidence to send the case to a grand jury.
