A former Fox News afflilate morning show anchor is accused of stabbing her 80-year-old mother to death in a gruesome Halloween murder, according to Mediaite.

Wichita, Kansas police say former St Louis Fox 2 anchor Angelynn Mock "was found drenched in blood" and begging for help outside a suburban home Friday.

Mock allegedly called emergency services and claimed she “stabbed [her] mother to save herself,” according to Sedgwick County dispatchers.

Police inside the home found Mock's mother Anita Avers “unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds.” She later died in the hospital.

According to the New York Post, Mock was taken into custody and booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for first-degree murder, and is being held on a $1 million bond.

Mediaite reports that Mock worked as a morning and evening fill-in anchor at KTVI Fox 2 from 2011 to 2015.

The investigation is ongoing and an official motive has not yet been publicly confirmed by authorities.
