Mom Dead, Daughter, 7, In Critical Condition

"NEW CITY, NY — Police say a woman tried to murder her 7-year-old daughter before apparently killing herself in New City this afternoon.

"Officers arrived at 6 Quarry Drive at around 1 p.m. after receiving reports of a woman inside committing suicide. The call allegedly came from a male doctor, who co-owned the home with the deceased woman, begging for an ambulance.

"The woman, identified as 45-year-old Victoria Vovchik, was found dead in her master bedroom with her daughter laying nearby. The girl had suffered from multiple stab wounds and was taken to Westchester Medical Center.
Vovchik was a podiatrist with a practice in Montvale, N.J., who moved into New City slightly more than two years ago.

"The girl is in critical, but stable condition and is expected to survive."
