Autopsies released in Broken Arrow family's murders

The autopsy reports on the murders of five members of a Broken Arrow family became public Monday, and they provide disturbing details into the events of that terrible night.

Robert Bever, 18, and his brother Michael, 16, each stand accused of stabbing and bludgeoning three siblings and their parents to death July 22nd of this year.

Monday, the Oklahoma State Medical Examiner's Office released a report, indicating that the most brutal attack was on the suspects' mother, April Bever, 44.

She was reportedly stabbed 48 times, including 18 wounds to the neck and head, as well as suffering blunt force trauma.

Her husband, David Bever, 52, was wounded by "sharp force" at least 28 times, and also suffered blunt force wounds.

Daniel Bever, 12, Christopher Bever, 7, and Victoria Bever, 5, were all stabbed to death.

A 13-year-old sister survived the attack despite stab wounds; a 2-year-old sister was found unharmed on the second floor of the home when police arrived.

Also Monday, a judge ruled that Michael Bever will stand trial as an adult, a decision his attorney has reportedly said he will appeal all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court if necessary.

The brothers are scheduled for a preliminary hearing in January.

Because of the extremely graphic nature of the report, KRMG has chosen not to post it online.
