Onslow County Sheriff Hans Miller says Anthony Wayne Young, 37, was arrested Sunday for the murder at his home on Wilson Spur in Richlands. Sheriff Miller says Young called 911 at approximately 5:40 Sunday morning and said he had killed his daughter.
Authorities responded and immediately arrested Young. Sheriff Miller says the body of Ruby Young, 1, was then found in a bedroom. Detectives determined a kitchen knife was used in the murder, and it appears the cause of death was loss of blood from a single cut.

An autopsy is scheduled for Monday.

A father allegedly sliced the 13-month-old’s neck with a steak knife at his Richlands home Sunday morning, Onslow County Sheriff Hans Miller said.
The child’s body had not cooled when deputies and an officer from Richlands Police Department reached a bloodied scene at Wilson Spur, he added. The child was found in a bedroom at the home.
“She had one cut across the neck,” Miller said. “... It was very wide.”
Richlands Police Chief Ron Lindig confirmed the first 911 call was 5:38 a.m. Sunday.
“Anthony Wayne Young called the Onslow County 911 Center and stated that he had killed his daughter,” Miller said during a press conference Monday morning.
Young faces a charge of murder in connection with her death.
admission by phone” but the call lacked a motive. The sheriff’s office has identified a motive, which Miller declined to reveal. He said the child was not killed in an attempt to silence her.
“I think there was a side of premeditation,” Miller said.
Richlands police were called for mutual aid at 5:44 a.m., Lindig said. The team of officers entered the site together, for safety, he added.
Miller said detectives processed the scene and determined the child suffered “severe blood loss.”
“There was blood at the scene,” Miller added. “It was a very ... bloody scene.”

About noon Monday, an autopsy was conducted at the morgue in Onslow Memorial Hospital, Miller said. Ruby-Rayne’s body had been delivered to the morgue before Monday morning, according to information from Onslow County branch of the N.C. Medical Examiner’s Office.
At 2 p.m. Monday, Jacksonville attorney Scott Jack was appointed to represent Young during a hearing in Onslow County District Court. The accused waived his right to make a first appearance during the hearing.
“He’s overcome presently with grief,” Jack told The Daily News as he walked to meet his client the second time Monday. “I met with him and told him it’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
He added that if the case does proceed to trial, it will not be soon.
Young’s next court appearance could be for a Rule 24 hearing — to determine whether his is a capital case, Jack said. He added that each case is unique and the exact date will depend on many factors: the investigation’s progress and his client’s wishes, for example.
