A young mother of two who was stabbed to death in her Richmond Hill home in an apparent murder-suicide, marks the first murder of 2018, police said.
On New Year’s Day at 1:09 p.m. officers responded to a 911 call of an unconscious female inside a residence at 112th Street near 103rd Avenue, the NYPD said. When police arrived, they discovered the body of 26-year-old Stacy Loknath unconscious and unresponsive with multiple stab wounds to her torso. Police said she was pronounced dead on the scene.
According to police, hours later Singh’s 46 year-old husband, Vinny Loknath, was discovered hanging from a tree following a suicide attempt a mile away in Forest Park.
The Guyanese couple, who shared a 5-year-old son and a 1-year-old daughter, were reportedly in an abusive relationship.
Police said no arrests have been made and the investigation was ongoing.
