SACO, Maine – Authorities have identified the woman who was killed in a knife attack at a supermarket in southern Maine as a 59-year-old mother of five.
State police spokesman Stephen McCausland says Wendy Boudreau was stabbed Wednesday at a Shaw's supermarket in Saco (SAY'-koh).
The Saco woman was taken to Southern Maine Health Care in Biddeford, where she later died.
Police say 31-year-old Connor MacCalister of Saco was arrested and charged with murder Wednesday night. Police are still working on determining a possible motive and say there's no indication the women knew each other.
