TWO RIVERS, Wis. (WBAY) – A man is accused of stabbing a woman to death in Two Rivers Township last week.

On July 4, the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office, along with the Two Rivers Fire Department and Mishicot Emergency Medical Services, were dispatched to an address in the Township of Two Rivers for a stabbing of a woman.

When officers and emergency services arrived, they found two people on the property with obvious stab wounds.

The sheriff’s office said a 51-year-old woman was found in the backyard of the property with numerous stab wounds and other injuries. A 62-year-old man, identified as Calvin C.
