STURGEON BAY (NBC 26) -- A woman in Sturgeon Bay is facing a homicide charge after a reported stabbing.
Around 12:30 Tuesday morning, Sturgeon Bay Police said officers responded to an apartment on Florida Street. When police arrived, they said a woman in the front yard told officers twice, "I stabbed her." She told police an injured woman was in the hallway to their upstairs apartment. The woman talking to police was later identified as 52-year-old Susan Soukup and arrested.
While on scene, another officer found a 32-year-old woman lying on her stomach in the hallway with multiple stab wounds to her back and a severe cut to her neck. The officer began life saving measures until EMS arrived. She was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Police said the victim and Soukup were roommates.
Sturgeon Bay Police said Soukup appeared in court Tuesday afternoon on a charge of First Degree Intentional Homicide. Police said the court found probable cause for the State to take jurisdiction and a $1 million dollar cash bond was set.
Soukup's next court appearance is scheduled for August 31 at 10 a.m.
