Kathryn Faughey found dead in her office

New York City psychologist Kathryn Faughey was found dead in her office. She had been hacked to death by a meat cleaver according to police detectives. Another therapist was seriously injured and probably heard the screaming of the woman and rushed to help, but he was "slashed numerous times in the face and neck," according to the Daily News.

The police believe that the suspect is a white middle-aged male with blond/light hair who possibly fled through the basement. Moreover, he was Kathryn Faughey’s patient.

Faughey, a licensed psychologist, a 56 year-old woman, practiced cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing thoughts that cause feelings or behaviors.

It was really terrible to be attacked in such a severe way. There were two weapons found on the scene: a meat cleaver and a 9-inch knife, both of which were bent from the attacks. A doorman said that he witnessed the suspect go into the building, but didn't see him leave. He also added that the man looked like a real psycho.

Dr. Shinbach is at the New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell in serious but stable condition. Let’s only hope that the police will be able to find this man and he will get his just deserts!
