MANCHESTER, NH — A Manchester woman is accused of stabbing her 16-month-old daughter late Wednesday night.
Police said 29-year-old Evansgina Audy's husband woke up to a bleeding toddler and a "despondent" wife. After realizing what allegedly happened, he called police.
When emergency officials arrived, Evansgina was taken into custody, and the baby was taken to Elliot Hospital for a serious, but non-life threatening stab wound to her back.
When she was questioned by police, she allegedly smirked, chuckled and started laughing.
Court paperwork said that Evansgina's story changed several times, first that the baby was crying, then that she tried to cut a shadow and then the knife fell.
Evamsgina has a history of depression, is on four different medications and has been admitted to the hospital twice in the last 10 months, said the court documents.
Police said a utility knife was located at the home and was taken into evidence.
Audy was charged with second-degree assault and preventative detention. She is being held pending a bail hearing.
The child has since been transferred to Boston Children's Hospital.
