RANDOLPH, Vt. (WCAX) - The woman suspected of killing a man in Randolph is behind bars.

Police say they’ve arrested Victoria Griffin, 29, on suspicion of second-degree murder. They say Griffin stabbed and killed Concepcion Cruz, 44, Saturday night.

Cruz and Griffin were in a relationship and lived in the Park Street home together where it happened. Four children related to Cruz and Griffin between the ages of 12 and 16 were there when the stabbing took place. None of the children were injured and relatives are taking care of them.

“Unfortunately, this is another domestic violence homicide. We’ve had 13 homicides this year, and I think out of the 13, seven of those are domestic violence-related,” Vermont State Police Capt. Scott Dunlap said.

The chief medical examiner’s office in Burlington determined the cause of Cruz’s death was a stab wound to the upper torso. The manner of death was ruled a homicide.

Griffin is scheduled to be arraigned by video at 12:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 14.
