Bond Set In Fatal Throat Slashing:
Reason to Blow Up the World...
WOODBURY, N.J. -- A woman charged with slashing her 6-year-old son's throat Saturday is being held on $500,000 bond.
Martina Harding, 42, also wounded herself after the attack, which claimed the life of her son, according to police and prosecutors. She remained hospitalized under police guard, with a self-inflicted neck wound.
Harding's 9-year-old daughter called 911 about 7:30 a.m., reporting that her brother had been injured. Police said she made the call at the direction of her father, Christian Harding. Neither was injured.
Prosecutor Thomas Sullivan said Christian Harding told detectives he had witnessed at least part of the attack, but was "too distraught" to continue talking.
Police searched the house late Saturday afternoon and took a 13-inch kitchen knife they said they believe is the weapon used in the killing.
Police said they had no motive for the attack. But they did confirm that both Hardings recently lost their jobs.
So 'mom' goes psycho and brutally slashed the throat of a 6-year-old and dad witnesses part of the attack before making the 9-year-old call 911. Something definitely does not add up.
