CLARENDON HILLS, Ill. (AP) - A man accused of choking his 8-year-old daughter, stabbing her in the neck and attempting to drown her in a toilet was ordered jailed without bond Tuesday.
Neil J. Lofquist, 40, of Clarendon Hills, was charged Monday with first-degree murder in the death of his daughter, Lauren. A DuPage County judge on Tuesday refused to set bond, said Paul Darrah, a spokesman for the state's attorney's office.
Prosecutors said Lofquist attempted to strangle his daughter in her bedroom late Sunday while his wife was downstairs and his son was in bed. He then moved the girl to the bathroom, where he attempted to drown her and stabbed her in the neck, prosecutors alleged.
