Saco Supermarket Stabbing Victim was Mother of Five

SACO, Maine- Authorities have identified a woman who was killed in a knife attack at a supermarket in southern Maine.

State police spokesman Stephen McCausland says 59-year-old Wendy Boudreau, a mother of five, was stabbed Wednesday at a Shaw's supermarket in Saco.

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 a possible motive and say there's no indication the women knew each other.

McCausland says MacCalister is expected in court Friday. It wasn't immediately clear if she had an attorney.

The state Medical Examiner's Office will perform an autopsy on Boudreau on Thursday.
