A Washington man accused of stabbing his girlfriend more than 100 times allegedly told police that she was speaking in “demon talk” and attacked him, according to court documents.

20-year-old Melinda “Mindy” O’Meara’s body was found face-down on the kitchen floor in the trailer where she lived with her 29-year-old boyfriend, Kenneth Mace. Federal Way police said she was “bleeding heavily” from stab wounds in her neck when officers arrived. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police responded to the mobile home park around 11:20 p.m. on July 6 after a neighbor called 911 to report that Mace had come into his trailer and told him, “I think someone is about to kill my wife,” according a probable cause statement filed in King County court. The neighbor told responding officers that while he was talking to the 911 dispatcher, he heard Mace say, “I stabbed her.”

One detective who later reviewed a recording of the 911 call wrote in an investigative report that they could hear Mace in the background saying “I killed her” twice.

Mace initially told police that he had come home from a long day at work and wanted to take a shower, but O’Meara “started talking in demon talk” and came after him with a knife, according to court documents. He claimed he then blacked out and did not remember what happened next.

In a recorded statement to detectives, however, Mace allegedly said that O’Meara was harassing him when he got home so he went into the bathroom to call his mother. He said when he came out, O’Meara was sitting on the couch with a knife in her hand and he feared she would stab him, so he “decided to throw a large glass marijuana bong at her head,” but he did not remember what he did after that.

According to the document, detectives noticed during the interview that Mace’s pupils were constricted, described as “a physical characteristic of a person coming down from methamphetamine use.” Mace also allegedly admitted that he had smoked marijuana before his fight with O’Meara.

The document stated that Mace asked for an attorney at that point, but he later requested to speak to detectives again in the holding cell. At that time, the detectives asked him if he felt bad about what he had done and he allegedly responded, “Yeah, of course I do. I just don’t know why I did that.”

Detectives also interviewed Mace’s mother, who reportedly said he “snapped” about a week earlier when he caught O’Meara’s parents moving her stuff out of his home and he had not acted the same since then.

Another investigative report stated that O’Meara’s parents told detectives they had been helping her move out and leave her relationship with Mace, but she went back to stay with him on July 4 after spending only one night at their home. They never saw her alive again.

According to court documents, an autopsy showed that O’Meara had been stabbed “well over 100 times” and there were signs of a “significant struggle” in the couple’s trailer. Several knives were found next to the body, along with a barbeque spatula with serrated edges that “appeared consistent with several marks on her neck.”

When Mace was taken into custody, officers noticed “relatively little physical injury” on his body.

Mace has been charged with first-degree murder. According to the King County Prosecutor’s Office, his arraignment is set for July 24. He remains in custody on $2 million bail. The public defender’s office representing him did not return calls seeking comment on the case Friday.

First-degree murder charges have been filed against a 29-year-old Federal Way man in the grisly death of his girlfriend.

Kenneth "Kenny" Mace is accused of stabbing 20-year-old Melinda "Mindy" O'Meara more than 100 times on July 6 at the Camelot Square Mobile Home Park on South 288th Street.

Mace is being held on $2 million bail and will be arraigned July 24 at the Regional Justice Center. According to Facebook, Mace is a 2001 graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School and O'Meara is a 2009 grad of Decatur High School.

An autopsy revealed that virtually all of O'Meara's vital organs were punctured, according to charging documents. The blood splatter indicated a significant struggle, according to autopsy, but Mace had few signs of injury.

Police found several knives next to O'Meara's body, including a broken knife handle and a barbecue spatula with serrated edges.

According to a police interview with Mace's mother following the murder, the family was trying to convince him to get counseling.

According to his mother, about a week before the murder, Mace had returned to his home to find O'Meara's family moving her property out of their residence. She said after that day, something "snapped." His mental processing wasn't the same and he didn't act the same. She stated that even the emails he sent her were different.

After questioning at the Federal Way police department, Mace stated that he was a habitual drug user, including marijuana, heroin, Oxycontin and other opiate drugs in the past. A drug recognition expert detected a distinct odor commonly associated with meth use, and also noted that Mace's pupils were constricted, a characteristic of a person "coming down" from meth.

Federal Way police responded to the mobile home park at approximately 11:21 p.m. July 6 after a neighbor called 911 to report the stabbing. When police arrived, they entered the trailer where O'Meara was laying face down on the kitchen floor surrounded in blood, according to the police report.

After the neighbor called 911, he flagged down a passing security officer. While waiting for police to arrive, the security officer detained Mace in handcuffs and in the back of his vehicle.

The neighbor stated that he was in his living room when Mace entered his residence through an unlocked door, according to the report. He noticed that Mace was "distraught and appeared on the verge of tears."

The neighbor stated that Mace asked to borrow his phone so he could call 911. When the neighbor asked why, Mace responded, "I think someone is about to kill my wife." The neighbor said that while he was on the phone with dispatchers, Mace stated, "I stabbed her," the report said.

When police arrived, the suspect told them the knife was "on the floor next to the one she came at me with."

According to the report, the man told police that he returned from a long day at work and all he wanted to do was take a shower when "she started talking in demon talk."

Mace told police that he returned home from work just before 10 p.m. from a new job that he started that day. He stated that O'Meara immediately began harassing him, so he went into the bathroom to call his mom, documents said.

Mace stated that when he came out, O'Meara was sitting on the couch with a knife in her hand and that he thought she was going to stab him. According to Mace, he decided to throw a large glass marijuana bong at her head and was able to get the knife away from her. He then said he didn't remember anything after that.

Upon further questioning, Mace recalled that he was able to eat a pork chop, take a shower and take a "hit" from the bong before throwing it at O'Meara.

Federal Way police report previous contacts with the man, but no cases of domestic violence between the man and the deceased woman. Mace does have a felony conviction for second-degree assault in 2000, according to charging papers.
