Plainfield, Illinois – A horrifying stabbing incident has left an 8-year-old boy dead and his mother seriously injured, shocking the community of Plainfield, a Chicago suburb. The gruesome attack occurred on Saturday, prompting a swift response from law enforcement.
Around 11:38 a.m., deputies from the Will County Sheriff’s Office rushed to a residence near the intersection of S. Lincoln Highway and Lily Cache Road in Plainfield, following a distress call reporting a stabbing. The 911 call came from a 32-year-old woman who detailed a vicious assault by her landlord using a knife. In a desperate bid to survive, she barricaded herself in the bathroom while contacting emergency services.
Upon arrival at the scene, authorities found the suspect, identified as 71-year-old Joseph M. Czuba of Plainfield, sitting outside the residence with a laceration to his forehead. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. Inside the home, in a bedroom, they discovered two victims, the 32-year-old woman, and her 8-year-old son, both with multiple stab wounds to their chest, torso, and upper extremities.
The 32-year-old woman was rushed to the hospital in serious condition, having endured over a dozen stab wounds. Tragically, the young boy succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
