Two teenage boys have been arrested in a bizarre sword attack on one teen’s mother that reportedly included a discussion of killing the woman and eating her liver, a Spokane County sheriff’s spokesman said Wednesday. Spokane Valley deputies responding to an assault call early Tuesday found the bloody woman on her bed; next to her were two knives and a sword with a bent handle. The woman was hospitalized Wednesday in stable condition, Deputy Craig Chamberlin said. She was not identified. “It doesn’t sound like she remembered the attack,” Chamberlin said in a phone interview. The woman told deputies the sword handle wasn’t previously bent. It wasn’t clear who called for help. With no signs of forced entry into the apartment, deputies went looking for the victim’s 13-year-old son and a 14-year-old friend. The other boy’s father thought his son had stayed with the 13-year-old, Chamberlin said. Then the man noticed his Dodge Durango SUV and its keys were missing. Deputies tracked the teens through a crime spree that included breaking into a home and crashing the SUV into the side of a mobile home.
