infoIllinois man used samarai knife to kill relative

Isaiah Jones, 20, is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Jearlean Willingham, known as his step-great-grandmother.

Willinghams daughter found her blood-covered body, the prosecution said. The victim suffered at least 35 stab wounds, some of which pierced her heart and lungs.

Jones, who was arrested nearby about five hours later, admitted killing Willingham after Bible study and acknowledged that blood covering his body was hers.

Authorities said Jones was found with disassembled pieces of a handgun and a knife, loose currency and bank envelopes containing $525.
