Dad made Mommy dead

A 3-year-old Tyngsboro boy described to authorities in heartbreaking detail how his father stabbed his mother to death before taking him and intentionally driving into oncoming traffic, according to court papers.

“Daddy killed Mommy,” Gavin McGee said Tuesday after he was rushed to Children’s Hospital in Boston after the 10:30 a.m. crash in Methuen, court papers reveal. “There was a lot of blood – blood everywhere.”

At his arraignment yesterday at Caritas Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Jeffrey McGee, 36, pleaded not guilty to killing his 31-year-old estranged wife, Christine.

After the crash, medics found what they believe to be five self-inflicted stab wounds on McGee’s body, court records state.

“This was no accident,” McGee allegedly told authorities, referring to the collision between his Toyota Corolla and a truck. “I did it on purpose.”

Gavin McGee remains hospitalized and his condition is improving.

Lowell District Court Judge Steven Ostrach barred reporters from the proceedings.

The judge – who ordered McGee held without bail pending a Dec. 10 pretrial hearing – said McGee objected to being photographed because “he didn’t want his son to see it in the paper.”

After police found Christine McGee’s body at her estranged husband’s apartment at 9 Glen Ave. in Chelmsford, the couple’s son told authorities: “Dad made Mommy dead. Dad cut herself open. Dad got the knife at the shooting store. Mommy couldn’t find the phone. Daddy made her all blood, blood on the couch,” according to court papers.

Chelmsford police found the victim, who had recently separated from her husband but still shared custody of their son, dead on the couch in the defendant’s apartment with “obvious puncture wounds to her face and neck.”

Police also found a bloodstained razor near her body and a pair of bloodstained sweatpants in the bedroom, according to a detective’s statement.

The couple, who had previously lived together in Tyngsboro, had been experiencing “marital difficulties,” the detective wrote, and had separated about two weeks prior to the killing.

The victim’s mother, Jill Plouffe, declined to comment yesterday at her Dracut home.
