"Speaking to some of the neighbors, they said they heard her screaming."

Jakuboski spoke about another neighbor, who went to check on the family, and said:

"She came up and knocked on the door. The son answered the door and he said, 'oh, I hit my mother in the head. I gotta take her to the hospital,' and he shut the door."

As per the New York Post, during a brief hearing at the Brooklyn Criminal Court, Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Jordan Rossman shed light on the case. They stated that Vladislav reportedly stabbed his mother in the neck and shoulder about seven times and stabbed her three times in the face as well.
