Minnesota Woman Arrested After Stabbing Man to Death and Setting Camper on Fire – Believed She Was BURNING A WITCH
There’s no explanation for how it escalated into the murder but she took a butcher knife and stabbed an inhabitant of the camper multiple times. She would also punch and kick the victim who had to be dead or dying by that point.
In talking with the Deer River PD, Crystal Wilson said that she just didn’t stop in regards to the attack and that she believed he was going to attack her. Wilson also admitted that she “pissed on him” before blacking out. When she came to her senses, she prodded the corpse before setting the camper on fire.
Wilson told the police that she burned the camper because she believed that she was “burning a witch.”
An initial investigation was done after the fire was put out. The police didn’t find the butcher knife that Wilson claimed to have used on the victim but did find a pair of needle nose pliers. Speaking of the victim, he was found with stab wounds all over along with severe burns.
Crystal Wilson wasn’t without her own marks. She had bruises but couldn’t recall how she got them. Wilson was arrested on July 20 and currently sits in Itasca County Jail on $1 million bond without conditions and $500,000 with conditions.
The 42-year-old was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree arson. She is due in court on August 3, 2022.
