Westminster man arrested for the stabbing murder of his wife
Law enforcement officials in Maryland arrested a Westminster man on Sunday in connection with the stabbing murder of his wife in Carroll County on Saturday.
The murder suspect has been identified as 50-year-old Matthew Glowacki of Westminster, who was charged with the second-degree murder of his wife. Glowacki was arrested by Maryland State Police and transported to the Westminster Barrack on Sunday. He is currently being held at the Carroll County Detention Center without bond.
The deceased victim was identified as 45-year-old Miriam Glowacki, also of Westminster, and the wife of Matthew Glowacki. Autopsy results later indicated the manner of death was a homicide. A motive for the crime has not been established at this time, according to police.
Miriam Glowacki died from two stab wounds to her chest, one that was 1-inch deep and another that was 7.5 inches deep and hit her lung and aorta, according to court documents.
Police searched the residence after obtaining a search warrant and said they found suspected blood stains in the kitchen and in the living room of the home, as well as a kitchen knife with blood stains on it under the kitchen table. ~ The Baltimore Sun
Shortly after noon on Saturday, troopers from the Westminster Barrack responded to a residence in the 1200 block of Ridge Road in Westminster for what turned out to be a bogus report of a female attempting to harm herself. Upon arrival, troopers located a female, later identified as Miriam, suffering from multiple apparent stab wounds.
She was transported by ambulance to Carroll County Hospital Center where she later died from her injuries.
Troopers spoke with Matthew Glowacki at the scene and homicide investigators were called in. Crime Scene Technicians from the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division also responded to process the scene for evidence that would later identify Glowacki as the suspect. ~ Fox 5 DC News
