Funeral Held Today For Murdered Pregnant Woman In PA
A funeral is being held tonight for a pregnant Pennsylvania woman who police say was murdered by her fiancee's eleven-year-old son.
The fifth-grade boy has been charged as an adult and is currently in jail.
He is so small jail officials couldn't even find clothes to fit him. But, Jordan Brown, just 11 years old, is now in jail charged with murder. _
It happened inside this farmhouse in western Pennsylvania. Prosecutors say Jordan had been the center of attention in his fathers life until recently, when his fathers pregnant fiance, Kenzie Houk, moved in with her 7 and 4 year old daughters.
Houk's 7 year old daughter is now the key witness in the case. Prosecutors say she saw Jordan come downstairs early Friday morning holding two guns.
When the girl asked what he was doing, Jordan ran back upstairs. But then returned, holding a 20 gauge shotgun under a blanket.
Prosecutors say Jordan walked into a room where Houk, 8 months pregnant, was lying down, put the shotgun, a Christmas gift from his father, to the back of her head and fired.
The victim's 4 year old daughter discovered her mother's body.
Authorities say even though Brown is in the county jail, he's separated from adult inmates.
His attorney says he plans to file an emergency motion to have the boy moved to a juvenile facility, or released on bail.
