Mother, Son Found Stabbed to Death Inside Maple Shade, New Jersey, Apartment

Detectives are investigating the deaths as homicides, but no motive is yet known.

A mother and her six-year-old son were found stabbed to death inside their apartment in Maple Shade, Burlington County, late Thursday night, officials said at a press conference.

Sasikala Narra, 38, and her son Anish died from multiple stab wounds, the county medical examiner ruled. Their deaths are being investigated as homicides, the county prosecutor said Friday.

They were found about 9 p.m. by a man identified as the husband and father of the two victims.

A source told NBC10's Cydney Long that investigators had not yet found the murder weapon and that the husband and father was at work at the time.

No motive in the stabbings, which occurred at Fox Meadow apartments in the 100 block of Fox Meadow Drive, was identified.
