The woman accused of killing her parents, and then dismembering them in their Jenkintown home, has been placed on administrative leave from her job as a teacher at a local Catholic school.
Verity Beck, 43, is charged with first-degree murder and third-degree murder. She is being held without bail.Investigators believe Beck's parents, 73-year-old Reid Beck and 72-year-old Miriam Beck, were killed around Jan. 7, but the gruesome scene wasn't discovered until Tuesday night.
Beck just started working at Saint Katherine's last January, and Gavin said she produced criminal background checks and child abuse clearances that showed no signs of misconduct."The safety and protection of every child in our schools is always our primary concern," the statement reads. Investigators say he talked to his sister for about 30 minutes. Police say Verity Beck lived at the home and told her brother that things there had "been bad."
