ST. CHARLES COUNTY (KMOX) - A $2 million bail has been set for a St. Peters woman charged with slitting the throat of a 6-year-old boy. The child survived but will require surgery, according to police.
Natalia L. Jacquemin, 46, was charged with first-degree assault and armed criminal action on Aug. 27. She called St. Charles police the day before, around 11:30 p.m. and said she killed the boy, according to the charges.
"I slit his throat," she said, according to court documents. "I tried getting him away from his dad. I slit his neck. … I did it."
She also allegedly told a responding officer, "I just wanted him to rest in peace."
The child had a eight-inch laceration across his neck which caused muscle damage, police say. Where the attack occurred and what relationship she has to the child was not disclosed by police.
