A man charged in the stabbing deaths of his 4-year-old daughter and the girl's mother is being held without bond in Ohio on two counts of murder.
Kristofer Garrett made his initial appearance in Franklin County Municipal Court in Columbus on Tuesday. Court records didn't indicate whether the 24-year-old has retained an attorney. A police affidavit says Garrett waited outside the Fleet Road home of 34-year-old Nicole Duckson last Friday morning and stabbed them multiple times. Authorities say their bodies were found in the backyard later that morning by a friend who became concerned when Duckson didn't pick her up. Garrett was arrested that night in Columbus after a traffic stop. The affidavit says Garrett then told police he cut his hand earlier in the day at Duckson's home.
