From the Ithaca Journal:Blazej J. Kot has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of his wife, Cornell researcher Caroline M. Coffey...Kot led police on a brief chase on Tuesday evening and was found with a severe stab wound, for which he was brought (probably airlifted) to a hospital in Pennsylvania. He will be extradited to New York once he has recovered to face charges.
An autopsy determined she bled to death due to a massive laceration to the front of her neck. Coffey and her husband, 24-year-old Blazej J. Kot, shared an apartment in the 900 block of Taughannock Boulevard, about 400 yards north from where Coffey's body was found after 8 a.m. Wednesday...
Coffey received her Ph.D. in comparative bio-medical sciences from Cornell in 2007, university officials said, and was working as a post-doctoral researcher in bio-medical engineering at the College of Veterinary Medicine. They said Kot is an information science Ph.D. candidate...
It's unclear what happened between the two of them to cause this violence, but we send our condolences to their families. Thankfully, tragedies of this magnitude tend to be few and far between within the Cornell community.
The Sun hasn't updated its story since yesterday evening.
Thanks to MetaEzra for the tip.
