NEW YORK (AP) - A man accused of using a meat cleaver to hack a psychotherapist to death and injure her colleague was indicted Friday after a judge reported that psychiatrists found the defendant fit to stand trial.
David Tarloff, 39, was charged with first-degree murder in the attack on Kathryn Faughey in her Manhattan offices Feb. 12. If convicted, he would face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Tarloff was also charged with attempted murder in the alleged attack on a psychiatrist, Dr. Kent Shinbach, who tried to help Faughey and was badly injured. Tarloff faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted on that charge.
