Arizona woman forced her children to take prescription drugs and also attempted to kill her ex-husband by stabbing him multiple times

Cases like this show why some women should never be allowed to have any children and why we should keep the death penalty in place.

A Casa Grande woman who faces a charge of first-degree murder in the death of her 13-year-old daughter also tried to kill her three younger children and ex-husband in a Christmas Day rampage, according to police.

Connie Villa, 35, was arrested Sunday morning after she was released from Maricopa Medical Center in Phoenix, where she was being treated for what police believe were self-inflicted stab wounds, according to Officer Thomas Anderson, a Casa Grande Police Department spokesman.

Her 13-year-old daughter, Aniarael Macias, was found dead in the bathroom of the family’s apartment on Wednesday night after 33-year-old Adam Villa called 911 to report he had been stabbed and was driving to the hospital, he said.

Investigators determined Connie Villa tried to kill the three other children, ages 3, 5 and 8, by forcing them to take prescription narcotics, Anderson said.

She then lured ex-husband Adam Villa, who is the biological father of the three younger children, to the apartment and stabbed him repeatedly in the upper torso, Anderson said. He escaped and called 911 while driving to Casa Grande Regional Medical Center.

Responding officers had to force their way into the home, where they found Connie Villa with apparent stab wounds to her upper torso, Anderson said. She was holding a knife to her chest and had the three younger children at her side.

Police detained Connie Villa and discovered Macias’ body in the bathroom while securing the scene, Anderson said.

The teenager did not have any apparent injuries, and the cause of her death was not immediately known, he said.

An autopsy conducted Saturday by the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office didn’t identify a cause of death.

Authorities are awaiting the toxicology reports for Macias and the three younger children, Anderson said. The results could take up to three weeks.

The three children also were taken to the hospital for evaluation, where initial tests found they had trace amounts of opiates in their system. All three are in good condition and have been placed with their father’s family.

A statement on behalf of Macias’ father, Michael, said: “We request that the focus of this tragedy be a celebration of our precious Ania’s life. She was a gentle, kind and beautiful spirit who was taken from us much too soon. Michael and his family are heartbroken. Ania was always smiling. She loved her brothers and sisters.”

Though the autopsy found no cause of death for Macias, investigators believe that the evidence at the scene, interviews and medical information of the surviving children show Connie Villa was trying to kill all of her children and her ex-husband.

Connie Villa was booked on one count of first-degree murder and four counts of attempted first-degree murder, Anderson said, adding that she could face additional charges.
