A woman is in custody accused of stabbing her father-in-law to death Tuesday at a home in Cleburne, police say.

Cleburne police and fire departments were called to a disturbance in the 700 block of Miracle Lane at about 10 a.m. While driving to the home, police learned a woman at the residence was reportedly stabbing a man.

When officers arrived, they found a man with several stab wounds and took a woman, identified as 41-year-old Jennifer Lynn Brabbin, into custody.

The man, identified as 76-year-old Robert Brabbin, was taken to Texas Health Cleburne Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to online jail records, Jennifer Brabbin was charged with murder and booked into the Johnson County Law Enforcement Center on a bond of $1 million. It's unclear whether Brabbin has obtained a lawyer to speak on her behalf.

Investigators have not shared a motive for the stabbing or said what may have led to the attack. Police also did not say whether anyone else was in the home.
