Slasher Expected To Live

"GREENWICH, CT — A 20-year-old woman was found stabbed to death Wednesday night in her backcountry home in what police are calling an attempted murder-suicide.

"The woman’s father was found at the scene with multiple self-inflicted stab wounds to his body. He was taken to Stamford Hospital and is expected to recover, according to Lt. Richard Cochran, who classified the incident as a domestic violence homicide.

"The victim is 2007 Greenwich High School graduate Amanda Dobrzanski, according to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Farmington. A spokeswoman said an autopsy would be performed Thursday afternoon. Police said the woman’s throat was slashed.

"Cochran said officers were requested to check on the two parties during a welfare call and given a code to get in the home at 100 Sterling Road.

"They found two bedroom doors locked and forced their entry into the rooms, police said.

"`They found one victim, the father, laying on the bed with multiple self-inflicted stab wounds all over his body,` Cochran said. `He mentioned something about his daughter and they searched the rest of residence, which was quite large, and located the victim in the bedroom. She had been stabbed and the wounds were fatal.`

"Police did not release the names of the victim or suspect."
