The man was arrested after his sister awoke from a two-year coma.
According to the Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Wanda Palmer's brother, Daniel Palmer III, 55, was arrested and charged with attempted murder and malicious wounding in connection to a 2020 attack against his sister.
I wouldn't have bet a nickel on her to live that day. She was unconscious as she circled the drain. The amount of head trauma was consistent with a machete or hatchet injury, according to the sheriff.
According to court documents obtained by the outlet, Wanda Palmer was found dead in her home on Flatwoods Road in Ravensville, West Virginia, on June 10, 2020.
A Florida mother was sentenced to 40 years in prison for forcing her 3-year-old son to overdose on drugs.
Wanda identified her brother as the person who tried to kill her, but authorities couldn't charge him because they didn't have a statement from her.
This is about as rare as it can get. Mellinger said it was a testament to the strength of the victim.
After being in a coma for two years, Wanda began to speak. Police went to the nursing home where Wanda was receiving care to question her about the 2020 incident.
Wanda stated that Daniel was mean when asked why he attacked her. According to court records, Daniel Palmer had a violent past.
