Services for Caleb Blansett are planned for 3 p.m. Saturday at First Christian Church in Wellington. A visitation is scheduled for 1-8 p.m. Friday at Day Funeral Home.

Wellington police say 33-year-old Lindsey Blansett entered her son’s room on Sunday night with a knife and a rock. They say she struck him with the rock and stabbed him multiple times in the chest.

Blansett’s 9-year-old daughter was removed from the home unharmed.

Blansett is charged with first-degree murder in the death. It wasn’t immediately clear if she has an attorney.
