Cause of death revealed for Kansas moms allegedly slain by religious group ‘God’s Misfits’

The two Kansas mothers allegedly killed by members of the anti-government religious sect “God’s Misfits” were brutally stabbed to death before they were buried in a freezer, officials have revealed.
Investigators had only previously said that Veronica Butler, 27, and Jilian Kelley, 39, were murdered in an “absolutely brutal crime” tied to a custody battle, without detailing an exact cause of death.
But preliminary autopsy reports list both women’s causes of death as “multiple sharp force trauma,” People magazine reported Friday.
The full medical report will be released on Nov. 15.
Butler and Kelley were allegedly ambushed and stabbed to death on March 30 by Paul Grice, 31, and Tom Cullum, 43, two of the five suspects arrested, according to court documents shared by KWCH.
Grice is believed to have stabbed Butler — injuring himself in the process — while Cullum went after Kelley, according to prosecutors.
The men then allegedly took the bodies to a field that Cullum leased, where he had prepared a hole the day before the killings, the documents said.
The victims were buried inside a freezer — alongside some of their killers’ bloodied clothes as well as a K-bar knife and duct tape, the documents said.
