A 60-year-old man in Indiana was arrested over the weekend for killing his girlfriend, allegedly stabbing the woman to death and then setting up the scene to make it appear as though he was acting in self-defense. Charles Michael Calvert was taken into custody on Saturday and charged with one count of murder in the fatal stabbing of Marcia Linsky, court records obtained by Law&Crime show.
According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, officers with the Allen County Police Department at about 8:24 p.m. on Feb. 3 responded to a 911 call about a stabbing at a residence in the 10500 block of Lagoon Drive. The caller identified himself as Calvert and allegedly stated that the victim had “come at him with a knife.”
“(Calvert) kept saying ‘she is no longer with us,’” the affidavit states. “(Calvert) told dispatch he also had a knife and both knives were still located in the kitchen. (Calvert) stated ‘we were having an argument, we both were holding a knife and she came at me.’”
During the 911 call, Calvert told the dispatcher that his girlfriend “became very verbal” with him several times, police said. They also noted that he sounded “very calm throughout the call” and had “no sense of urgency whatsoever.”
