A 26-year-old man has been charged in the slaying of his stepmother, found bludgeoned to death in her northwest suburban home Thursday morning.
The death marks the first murder in Fox River Grove’s history, according to Police Chief Ronald Lukasik.
Martin Green of 111 Gladys Ave. is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of his stepmother, 52-year-old Patricia McNamara, according to a Fox River Grove police release.
At 8:12 a.m. Thursday, police found the body of McNamara, who apparently died from blunt force trauma injuries, according to Lukasik. A hammer recovered at the scene was considered evidence.
Police went to the home after receiving a call from McNamara’s husband, who was locked out and called police for assistance, Lukasik said. Officers gained entry and found the body in a mud room in the garage.
Lukasik estimated she had been dead for about an hour.
Green was arrested after knocking on the door of a home in nearby Cary for help, Lukasik said. He was running and had fallen into the Fox River, where he took his pants and shoes off.
He was taken into custody by Cary officers about 20 minutes after his stepmother’s body was found. Police took him to Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington to ensure he wasn’t injured from the fall in the river or being in the icy water, Lukasik said.
Green, who had been living with McNamara and her husband, had one prior arrest in 2008 for DUI.
No one else was injured in the incident and police were not seeking anyone else in the murder, Lukasik said.
Green is being held at the McHenry County Jail and is scheduled to appear in court on Saturday in Woodstock.
Fox River Grove police, McHenry County Major Investigation Assistance Team, McHenry County Sheriff’s police, the McHenry County Coroner’s office and the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s office are investigating.
