A Liberal man has pleaded innocent to
trying to kill his three children by slashing their throats.
Thirty-year-old Irineo Garcia entered the plea Wednesday in
Seward County District Court to three counts of attempted
first-degree murder.
Garcia’s children, ages 5, 6 and 7, were found injured on Oct.
18, 2010, at his Liberal home. He also tried kill himself.
Police were notified of the attack after Garcia called his estranged wife.
Officers found him bleeding outside the home and the children
inside. They have all recovered from their injuries.
