LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Adult siblings in Lincoln have been accused of brutally attacking a relative.
Lincoln police say 18-year-old Henrionce Cope and 20-year-old Sade Cope attacked 50-year-old Charles Riley Jr. on Sunday.
Officer Katie Flood tells the Lincoln Journal Star (https://bit.ly/1mW0GRY ) that the siblings stabbed Riley 13 times in his head, arms and legs. They’re also accused of using a broken bottle and an iron in the attack.
Authorities say Riley is Henrionce Cope’s stepfather. It’s unclear what his relationship is to Sade Cope.
Riley was treated at a hospital. The siblings were arrested Monday without incident on suspicion of second-degree assault and using a weapon to commit a felony. Court records do not list attorneys.
