Stabbing

Fire and attempted carjacking
An elderly woman reportedly fought off a carjacker on Saturday in Saratoga Springs by hitting him.

Police were able to get him out, and he was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries from the fire.
Parole hearing set
The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole has set a first parole hearing for convicted baby-killer Megan Huntsman, for April 2064. That means she will spend at least 49 years in prison.
Huntsman, a former Pleasant Grove resident, pleaded guilty to killing six of her newborn babies and hiding their bodies in her garage. A judge sentenced her in April to five years to life in prison on each of six counts of murder. Three of those terms will run consecutively and three will run concurrently. The judge gave her credit for the 372 days she’d already served in jail.
Huntsman, 39, was arrested last year after her estranged husband discovered one of the bodies in the garage. Huntsman choked or strangled the babies after they were born, between 1996 and 2006.
