Indiana mother accused of fatally shooting husband, taking ax to his legs

An Indiana woman accused of fatally shooting her husband also allegedly used an ax to partially dismember him – then asked her kids for help in getting rid of the remains, according to reports.  

Police said the children heard the shots and went into the bedroom where they found Randy Allen on the floor asking for help, but Thessalonica Allen told them not to call 911 and sent them to their room, the Times of Northwest Indiana reported. The two teenagers later said they were awakened in the middle of the night by their mother, who asked them to help drag Randy Allen's body out of the room and into her vehicle – but the corpse was too heavy, court documents stated.
