Woman, child stabbed to death at Staten Island hotel; 2 other kids hurt
A man stabbed his girlfriend and all three of her children Wednesday morning, killing her and a 2-year-old girl at a hotel that was being used for homeless housing, authorities said.
Rebecca Cutler, 28, was stabbed more than two dozen times, and her 2-year-old daughter, Miracle Cutler, was stabbed at least nine times at a Ramada Inn on Staten Island, a police official told The Associated Press. A 1-year-old girl and her 5-month-old sister were also critically injured in the attack.
Michael Sykes, 23, is wanted for questioning after he called his mother to say he was going to kill his girlfriend and himself, said the official, who wasn’t authorized to publicly discuss the case and spoke on condition of anonymity. Sykes was the father of the 5-month-old, police said.
