Man Charged After Woman, Child Found Dead in Home

Suicidal man allegedly told police in Waukegan that he had just “harmed his family” in Chicago

A Chicago man was charged Monday after a woman and a child were found fatally stabbed inside a Northwest Side home over the weekend.

Maciej Kotlinski, 35, was charged with two felony counts of first-degree murder.

Police discovered the bodies of Victoria Kotlinski, 7, and Ania Kosinska, 34, inside the home in the 3400 block of North Odell at 9 a.m. Sunday. Both died from multiple stab and incise wounds.

Chicago police say they were alerted to the situation by Waukegan authorities after a suicidal Maciej Kotlinski claiming to have "harmed his family."

Neighbors say the family didn't appear to be having any problems when they were seen walking together Saturday night.

Kotlinski is due in bond court Tuesday.
