A Chicago man accused of stabbing a female acquaintance multiple times about her stomach, neck and chest earlier this month is being held without bond after DuPage County judge granted State’s Attorney Robert Berlin’s motion to deny.
The suspect has been charged with one count of Attempted Murder (Class X Felony) and one count of Aggravated Domestic Battery (Class 2 Felony).
Prosecutors allege that the suspect, 50, who was involved in a romantic relationship with the victim, went to the Extended Stay located at 1827 Center Point Circle in Naperville on the evening of September 10, 2022, where the victim had been staying. It is alleged that once inside the victim’s room, a verbal altercation ensued between the victim and the suspect.
The altercation turned violent, with the suspect repeatedly hitting the victim, after which he pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim eleven times about her stomach, neck and chest. After the attack, the suspect fled the scene at which time the victim called 911.
Following an investigation into the stabbing, the suspect was taken into custody from a home in Calumet City on September 30, 2022, without incident.
“It is alleged that [the suspect] ruthlessly beat and stabbed an innocent woman eleven times and then left her bloodied and beaten on a hotel room bed,” Berlin said. “Domestic violence remains a top priority of my office and any allegation of such will be aggressively prosecuted. We are all very grateful that the victim has survived her injuries.”
The suspect’s next court appearance is scheduled for October 31, 2022, in front of Judge Margaret O’Connell.
