22-year-old woman cut Massapequa murder victim’s throat while he slept, Nassau County Police say
Police on Long Island announced the identity of the woman who allegedly stabbed a man while he was sleeping at a Massapequa home.
Kristin Scully, 22, was an acquaintance of 28-year-old Robert Michael Carragher Jr. The two met up at a bar before she went back to the home he shared with his parents near Massapequa High School, according to officers
Nassau County Police Detective Lieutenant George Darienzo said Scully got angry and stabbed Carragher Jr. in the neck while he was sleeping at 1:30 a.m. Monday.
His parents went downstairs to the basement apartment when they heard him screaming.
“The individual who died, died in his father’s arms. No family should ever have to bear witness to their son being killed in that manner,” Darienzo said.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found Scully hiding in the house with a pocketknife on her.
The Massapequa resident was arrested and is being charged with second-degree murder.
There was a heavy police prescence after the incident. Helicopters circled the area, and the street was closed off for hours. Police dogs were also searching the area, according to neighbors.
