NORFOLK, Neb. – A Niobrara woman is in custody after a fatal stabbing in Norfolk early Monday morning.

The victim, 41-year-old Roger Saul of Norfolk, was discovered by Norfolk Police inside an apartment in the 1300 block of Impala Drive shortly after midnight. Saul died shortly afterward at the scene.

Witnesses described an argument between Saul and 24-year-old Latessa Thomas of Niobrara at the residence.

This resulted in Thomas grabbing a knife from the kitchen, threatening Saul with it and stabbing him in the neck, according to witnesses.

Witnesses report that Thomas then left the residence. A few hours later, Norfolk officers located Thomas in the 1400 block of Country Club Road and placed her under arrest for first degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

Family of the victim has been notified. Police say there are no other suspects or threats to the community.

"There's always emotions involved with relationships of whatever kind," said Don Miller, Norfolk Police Chief. "But there's never a need to turn to violence."

Thomas was initially housed in the Norfolk City Jail and later transferred to the Madison County Jail.
