A disturbing domestic incident unfolded in a quiet neighborhood just outside Round Rock, where a murder-suicide claimed the lives of a woman and the man identified as her boyfriend. Williamson County Sheriff's Office responded to a 911 call made by the woman's child on Thursday morning, at around 8:30 a.m., reporting the harrowing event that left the child without a mother.
The deceased were found at a residence on Bucine Cove - a suburban area nestled between County Road 110 and University Boulevard, with both individuals suffering from stab wounds. According to CBS Austin, authorities revealed the names of the deceased as 33-year-old Maryam Jesmani and 37-year-old Amirhossein Jafari, who was living with Jesmani and the child. The child, fortunately, has been placed safely with family members.
