A Middletown High School student accused of stabbing a woman to death Thursday afternoon told police he’d tried to pull the woman out of the car they fought in to “finish the job” before she sped away to a nearby fire department, where emergency personnel tried desperately to save her, new court records show.
The woman had been stabbed at least 10 times, drenched in blood after the brutal attack, and she succumbed to her injuries at Middlesex Hospital despite firefighters’ and paramedics’ efforts, the records released Friday detail.
Eugenio Vela, 18, was located a few blocks away from the scene with blood on his clothes and deep cuts on his right hand after witnesses of the stabbing directed officers to him, records show.
