Samantha Rae Booth, charged with first-degree murder and child abuse, allegedly attacked an 83-year-old man and assaulted the child's uncle with a weapon, officials said.
- On Friday, Samantha Rae Booth, 35, a nanny from Chesterfield, faces murder charges after David Ong, 83, was found dead in the 4,300 block of Sheridan Drive, Royal Oak, Michigan.
- The child's mother, who was out of town, asked a relative to check on the child after failing to reach Booth; the brother-in-law arrived around 9:25 p.m. and found David Ong suffering stab wounds in the basement.
