A young man, aged 24, from Kansas is facing accusations of murdering his 64-year-old grandmother. It is claimed that he attacked her with a kitchen knife, repeatedly stabbing her in the neck, after she criticized how he handled his laundry.

Court documents indicate that Isaiah Langkiet is charged with first-degree attempted murder, domestic battery, and breaking a protective order in connection with Elvera Langkiet’s death.

Details from a probable cause affidavit reveal that officers from the Wichita Police Department responded around 9 p.m. on August 30 to a request for assistance at a residence located in the 800 block of South Fern Road. Isaiah Langkiet had reportedly called 911, informing the dispatcher that he had “stabbed his grandmother.”

Upon arrival, law enforcement found Isaiah Langkiet on the back porch of the home and took him into custody. He informed the officers that his grandmother remained inside the house.

In the home, police found Elvera Langkiet bleeding profusely from her upper torso and telling the officers that she had been stabbed in the neck.

While being taken to St. Francis Hospital, the victim reportedly told medical personnel that “her grandson, Isaiah, had stabbed her,” noting that her grandson “has demons” and suggesting “something was wrong with him.” She also indicated that he expressed a desire “to go back to jail.”

At the hospital, doctors examined the victim and reported she had suffered two stab injuries to the neck and one to the throat, each approximately four inches deep, and initially described these wounds as “near fatal.”

In an interview with police, Isaiah Langkiet admitted that earlier that morning he had “gotten into an argument” with his grandmother “about her criticizing how he does his laundry.”

“Isaiah said this caused him to be angry, and he slapped Elvera on the face with an open palm,” the affidavit says. “Isaiah admitted that while in the kitchen, he grabbed brown handled kitchen knife from the countertop, which he said had blade around 8 inches long, and stabbed Elvera in the neck area, and as she fell, he stabbed her again in the neck. After Elvera fell to the kitchen floor, Isaiah said he was “pissed off’ and walked away from the residence and did not provide aid to her.”

Asked again why he stabbed his grandmother, Isaiah Langkiet allegedly said he was “tired” of her “b—ing at him,” per the affidavit.

Two days after the incident, the victim’s daughter told police she had spoken with Elvera Langkiet about the stabbing. The daughter said the victim told her, “That motherf—er tried to kill me.”

Elvera had been expected to survive her injuries, but she refused further medical treatment and died on Sept. 3. A subsequent autopsy determined her cause of death to be “complications of stab wounds” and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.

A district court judge on Monday ordered the defendant to undergo a competency evaluation at Community Care of Sedgwick County. The facility is required to report back to the court within 60 days before proceedings continue.

Langkiet, who is not yet facing murder charges, is currently being held in the Sedgwick County Jail on $500,000 bond, records show.
