HOUSTON -- A man has been charged in a stabbing that left a woman dead and her child injured, and investigators said sexual assault was the motive, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said Timothy Victoria, 29, was charged with capital murder.
Investigators said Victoria was found stabbed in the garage of a home in the 13000 block of Tall Forest at about 10:15 a.m. Monday.
His girlfriend's 4-year-old daughter was stabbed in the chest. Her 27-year-old mother was stabbed to death, officials said.
Detectives said Victoria stabbed the mother to death while he was in the process of raping her daughter.
"The 4-year-old child was taken in very critical condition to the hospital, where doctors found serious stab wounds and also evidence that she had been sexually assaulted," Harris County prosecutor Donna Hawkins said.
If convicted, he could face the death penalty.
The girl is expected to recover.
