Man Slashes Girlfriend's Throat: Police

Delaware State Police say a Seaford man is charged with attempted murder for slashing his girlfriend's throat.

State troopers were called to a hospital Friday night after a woman arrived with a severe laceration to her neck. When they arrived, police were told an unknown suspect slashed the 20-year-old woman's neck. But after further investigation, police found the woman and her boyfriend were involved in a fight in Bridgeville.

Police say the boyfriend, 20-year-old Darnell Aiken of Seaford, used a kitchen knife and swung it at the woman's neck. Police say Aiken and another woman brought the victim to the hospital and that he threatened the women if they revealed what happened.

Police arrested Aiken at the hospital. He is held without bail. A defense attorney was not immediately identified.
