Mother of David Koresh Murdered

The mother of cult leader David Koresh is dead. Police in Chandler, Texas (near Tyler) say Bonnie Clark Haldeman was stabbed to death by her sister who is now in custody. Beverly Clark is being held without bond.

Koresh founded the Branch Davidians. He became nationally known after refusing to comply with federal agents in 1993 when they attempted to arrest him for stockpiling weapons at his Waco compound. The standoff went on for weeks and ended when the complex caught fire, killing nearly 80 people, including Koresh.
