Police: Girl slits a throat; yen reported

MADISON, Wis. — A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl tried to kill her brother’s 15-year-old girlfriend, slitting her throat and describing herself during the attack as a psychopath looking for her first kill, according to investigators.

Kali Jade Bookey of New Richmond was charged as an adult Thursday with attempted first-degree intentional homicide. She was being held without bail Friday. Her attorney, Barbara Miller, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

According to a criminal complaint, Kali called the St. Croix County sheriff’s office on Wednesday to report that two men had tried to abduct her but she had told them that her brother’s girlfriend was home alone and they should take her instead.

Deputies went to the girlfriend’s trailer and found her in a bedroom bleeding profusely. The girl was taken by ambulance to a hospital where she told investigators that she was sleeping in her bedroom when Kali entered and put her hands over her mouth. A struggle ensued, with Kali breaking two bowls over her head and using a shard to cut her and slit her throat, she said.

The victim said Kali asked her if she wanted to die or bleed out, so she opted to bleed out, the complaint states. The victim said Kali described herself as a crazy psychopath looking for her first kill, saying she probably would kill again. Kali then told her to “have a nice afterlife” and left, investigators said.
