Cathrin Kennedy (Marion County Jail).

In Florida, a woman is facing serious charges after an alleged altercation with her boyfriend turned violent, resulting in his throat being slit during what began as a simple afternoon of making pizza.

Cathrin Kennedy, aged 35, has been charged with attempted first-degree murder. The arrest affidavit, obtained by Law&Crime, reveals that Kennedy contacted the Marion County Sheriff’s Office last Friday, claiming her boyfriend had “slit his own throat” and was on his way to the hospital.

Upon reaching the hospital, deputies discovered the boyfriend with a severe knife wound to his neck. Investigations at the couple’s residence uncovered blood stains on the floor and a large kitchen knife in the sink. Officers noticed blood on Kennedy’s right hand, which she explained was from reaching into her boyfriend’s car after he allegedly stabbed himself. However, she couldn’t account for the blood inside the house.

At the hospital, the boyfriend provided a conflicting account. He shared that he and Kennedy had been living together since her release from jail a few months earlier. According to him, the day began around 9 a.m. with some drinks, followed by cooking pizza at noon. An argument ensued during which Kennedy allegedly picked up a large knife and approached him.

Back at the hospital, Kennedy’s boyfriend gave a much different version of events. He told cops he had known Kennedy for about a year and they began living as a couple after she was released from jail a few months prior. The victim said the two woke up about 9 a.m., he had a couple of drinks and they began cooking a pizza around noon. At some point the two began to argue and she allegedly grabbed a large knife and walked up to him.

“He stated she then sliced his throat slowly and he did not even realize what was happening,” cops wrote.

He grabbed a towel and drove himself to the emergency room.

In an interview after being given her Miranda rights, Kennedy said her boyfriend became “belligerent” and started “going crazy,” the affidavit stated. She reiterated her story about the victim getting into his car where she saw him “making a cutting motion across his neck,” cops wrote.

Kennedy said she called 911 after he left because she was “fearful he would become incapacitated,” the affidavit said.

Cops concluded the stabbing occurred in the home and not the car since there was blood all over the living room, dining room and kitchen. There also was no knife in the boyfriend’s car, police said.

The suspect was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail where she remains without bond. Her next court date is set for Feb. 3.
