WOONSOCKET, R.I. (AP) - A man charged with fatally stabbing the mother of his two children in their Woonsocket apartment has been indicted on a murder charge.
Alvin Huggins did not enter a plea at a court appearance in May and his court-appointed attorney previously did not comment.
Authorities say the 31-year-old Huggins stabbed 28-year-old Yanira Flores in the chest in their home. She later died at a hospital.
Police say the couple’s two children, ages 6 and 4, were home at the time.
Authorities say Huggins has a criminal record and was on parole at the time of the stabbing.
WPRI-TV reports (https://bit.ly/1ZETTjk ) a Providence County Grand Jury handed up an indictment Wednesday and Huggins is scheduled to be arraigned on a domestic murder charge on Nov. 4.
