After pleading guilty to a first-degree attempted assault with a deadly weapon enhancement charge last month, Christine Welker was sentenced to 104 months in prison on Feb. 5.

The Redmond resident was charged for reportedly stabbing her husband. Welker was 54 years old at the time, and her husband, 66.

As previously reported, the Redmond Police Department (RPD) responded to a home in the 9600 block of 173rd Place Northeast at about 3:54 a.m. on April 28, 2014.

According to the police report, the victim “woke up after being smacked in the head by a knife.” In the report, the victim added that he and Welker struggled to gain control of the knife and “she was determined to kill (him) and herself.”

According to charging documents, another struggle ensued after the victim went downstairs and fell down. With a knife sticking out of his neck, the documents read, the victim managed to flee the scene and make it across the street to a neighbor’s house to ask for help.

Documents state that the neighbor told police that the victim had multiple stab wounds to his neck. When police arrived, the victim had multiple stab wounds to his neck and back and was lying in a pool of blood on his neighbor’s front porch, the earlier report states. Police found the knife underneath his back.

According to documents, Welker barricaded herself in the house across the street. RPD officers entered the house and found her in the bedroom with what appeared to be self-inflicted injuries to her wrist and throat.

Welker told police there had been a struggle but she could not remember what had happened. When she was arrested, the report states that Welker said, “I’m sorry.”

Both Welker and her husband were initially transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle following the incident. The two were later released.

According to earlier reports, there was no one else in the residence and there is a history of domestic violence between the two.

According to the sentencing documents, Welker does not have a criminal history prior to this incident.

In addition to serving a little more than eight and a half years, documents state Welker is to have no contact with her husband for 10 years. Welker will also be required to obtain a mental health evaluation and is not allowed to use or possess alcohol or non-prescribed drugs, the sentencing documents state.
