CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WIVB) – A mother and her 7-year-old son were killed in what police described as a domestic situation in Cheektowaga Thursday.
Their accused killer, the mother’s boyfriend, Shane Stevenson, 31, is charged with two counts of 2nd degree murder. Stevenson pleaded not guilty in Cheektowaga Town Court Friday morning. Police do not believe there are other suspects.
Police found out about about the murders after the mother’s other child was found abandoned in the afternoon near a church. When officers arrived at the family’s home in the Kingswood Apartment complex on French Road, they found Raina Voll, 30, and Leo Klinger, 7, dead. Officers say they arrested Stevenson at the scene.
During a Friday morning news conference, Assistant Police Chief James Speyer declined to say how the mom and her son were killed. He did say Stevenson was not the father of either child
The other child, found abandoned at the church, is now with his father.
A judge ordered Stevenson held without bail for now. His next court date will be September 22 at 8:30 a.m.
