Woman accused of trying to slash child’s throat with a knife

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn. (KFGO KVRR) – Bond has been set at $500,000 for a Thief River Falls woman accused of cutting a child’s throat.

Edwina Stoutenburgh, 34, is charged with attempted 2nd degree murder without intent and assault. Court documents show Stoutenburgh tried to cut the child’s neck but the knife was too dull.

At the emergency room, she said demons inside of her took over and she wanted to kill her children.

Her husband arrived at home and gave Pennington County sheriff’s deputies consent to search the home. They found a knife with what appeared to be blood on it in the kitchen sink.
