A 67-year-old Connecticut felon convicted of a domestic assault on his girlfriend earlier this year stabbed her death Monday night.
Stanley Mulvey called 911 at about 7 p.m. and said that he’d just stabbed his girlfriend and wanted to kill himself, the Stratford Police Department said.
Officers arrived to find Mulvey lying on top of the body of 62-year-old Megan McShane on the kitchen floor of the home. Both were covered in blood, and officers said they found a “large kitchen knife” nearby.
Mulvey refused police orders to get up, so officers had to drag him off McShane’s body and out of the home. He was handcuffed and placed in a police cruiser, where he made multiple voluntary “admissions to the officers that he had killed Megan McShane.”
He had been convicted of a domestic assault on McShane in May; it’s not clear why he wasn’t in prison.
According to the Connecticut Post, Mulvey had a previous conviction on two counts of interfering with a police officer in 2010 after he lunged at two officers with a knife when they were called about a dispute between him and and ex-girlfriend.
Mulvey was found not guilty of attempted assault in that case but was sentenced to two years in prison on the interference charge.
This time, police charged him with murder and interfering with a police officer. He’s being held on a $1 million bond and is due in court on Wednesday.
