A woman is in critical condition following a stabbing incident in a Draper apartment early Saturday morning, where she sustained at least eight stab wounds. Both suspects involved in this violent altercation are now in police custody, as reported by FOX 13. Identified as the victim's boyfriend and Raykietta Singer, 23, each face charges related to the attack, with Singer arrested on an attempted murder charge and being held without bail in the Salt Lake County Jail.
Detailed by KSL Newsradio, police officers, and paramedics provided aid to the seriously injured woman before transporting her to a hospital, where she remains in serious condition. Police found one female suspect and a male in the area, all three of whom were acquainted before the incident which police are currently calling an isolated event although the violence of the occasion speaks to a narrative far more complex than such classifications suggest.
Court documents revealed that Singer allegedly reached for a folding knife during a physical confrontation, which led to the victim sustaining multiple stab wounds. Singer, while confessing to only a singular act of stabbing, bore visible injuries herself, purportedly from the victim's defensive actions, according to ABC4. Despite her claims of stabbing the victim only once, detectives' inquiries into the numerous injuries the victim suffered did not elicit any further explanation from Singer, who also conceded she might have cut one of her fingers during the incident.
