WICHITA— A Kansas man accused of fatally stabbing a 6-year-old girl, critically injuring her sister and raping their mother is charged with first-degree murder.

Sedgwick County prosecutors filed charges Tuesday against Hassan Wright, 47 who is related to the mother. He’s jailed on $1 million bond.

Wichita police responding to a vehicle accident Friday found the 6-year-old and her 24-year-old mother stabbed inside a Jeep in a strip mall’s parking lot. The girl died at a hospital.

Her 4-year-old sister, also stabbed, was found miles away wandering in a field.

Case documents that would show whether Wright had an attorney weren’t available online Tuesday. Calls to the jail seeking the same information rang unanswered.
