Update on attempted murder/suicide case in New City

The Clarkstown Police Departmentโ€™s Detective Bureau has concluded its investigation into the assault of a 7-year-old girl and the death of her mother which occurred on February 28 at 6 Quarry Dr, New City.

The investigation concludes that Victoria Vovchik acted on her own and is solely responsible for stabbing her 7-year-old daughter numerous times and then successfully committing suicide.

The investigators concluded that a follow-up interview of the victim would produce no additional evidentiary information. Therefore, in consultation with her health care providers, the victim was not interviewed as it would cause unnecessary additional trauma.

A CPD press release stated, โ€œOn behalf of Chief Sullivan and the Clarkstown Police Department, we extend our deepest sympathies to the victim, her family, friends, and all that were affected by this tragic incident.โ€
