Beverly Clark, 54, the aunt of late Branch Davidian leader David Koresh, remained in the Henderson County Jail Tuesday, charged in the stabbing death of Koresh’s mother, Bonnie Haldeman, 64.

A family member told a local newspaper that the woman has a long history of mental illness.

The mother of infamous Branch Davidian leader David Koresh was stabbed to death and her sister was in custody Saturday charged with her slaying, authorities said.

Authorities say they do not yet know what happened.

Halderman wrote an autobiography, published in 2007, called “Memories of the Branch Davidians: The Autobiography of David Koresh’s Mother,” that described how her son, Vernon Howell, became David Koresh.
