The latest on the stabbings of a woman and two children, one of whom died, Friday morning (all times local):

5:30 p.m.

Wichita police say they now believe a 24-year-old mother and her 6 and 4-year-old daughters were stabbed by 47-year-old Hassan Wright -- the children's great uncle -- around 5 a.m. in near a field north of Valley Center, where police believe they have found a knife used in the attacks. 

Lt. Todd Ojile of the Wichita Police Department said the investigation began at around 7 a.m. when police found the mother and the 6-year-old with stab wounds in a crashed minivan at the Parklane Shopping Center at Lincoln and Oliver in Wichita.  The girl was pronounced dead at the scene. The mother remains in critical, but stable condition

A short time later police were called to the 8000 block of W. 77th Street North, where employees of a business found the 4-year old girl bleeding in a field. She had also been stabbed, and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. She also remains in critical, but stable condition.

The injured mother was able to give a positive identification of 47-year-old Hassan Wright as the suspect. 

An anonymous tip helped a multi-agency search party catch up to Wright at a home in Haysville. He was arrested around 9:28 a.m. near 55th and Broadway. He was booked into the Sedgwick County jail on charges of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated kidnapping.

Ojile did say Antonio Ray -- the boyfriend of the woman who was stabbed, the step-father of the little girl who died, and the father of the 4-year old girl who was injured -- was mistakenly identified by the department previously as a person of interest in the case. 

Investigators think that after Hassan Wright stabbed the woman and the girls, he drove the car and left it. The woman got in the car and drove it a short distance, before she crashed.

"Three Wichita police officers were in pursuit. They felony-stopped him, guns drawn," the witness said. "They told him to get on the ground. He complied. That's when they turned their attention to the driver of the vehicle. She was a female. They drug her out onto the pavement."

He said officers took her into custody, and she left in an ambulance.
