Update: Coroner identifies woman slain in Central Ky. soup kitchen where she worked
The Franklin County coroner has identified a woman who died after being stabbed at a soup kitchen in Frankfort Tuesday morning.
Coroner William Harrod said Robin S. Jones, 56, of Frankfort, was pronounced dead at the scene, which is across the street from police headquarters, at 10:09 a.m. Jones was a worker at the soup kitchen and shelter, Frankfort police said.
The altercation occurred at the ACCESS Soup Kitchen and Men’s Shelter on West Second Street, Sgt. Ryan Belcher said. The victim sustained “several” stab wounds, Belcher said.
Police detained Clifton Sapp, 39, across the street from the crime scene on police department property, Belcher said. He was charged with murder in Jones’ death, Belcher said. He was held without bond at the Franklin County Regional Jail, according to jail records.
Sapp frequented the shelter and soup kitchen, Belcher said. He had regularly been staying at the shelter and eating at the soup kitchen for at least a month, he said.
Sapp was initially noncompliant, but officers were able to take him into custody without any further injuries, Belcher said.
The coroner said an autopsy was scheduled for Wednesday morning.
