Brooklyn Park Woman Faces Attempted Murder Charge After Cutting Sister With Broken Glass
A Brooklyn Park woman is facing attempted murder charges after she severely cut her sister with broken glass.
Patience Wleh, 45, was charged with second-degree attempted murder, two-counts of assault, threats of violence and domestic assault.
According to the criminal complaint, Wleh was at her sister’s home in Elk River when the incident occurred.
Wleh and her sister got into a verbal argument that soon turned physical.
The fight started with slapping, then turned to pushes and shoves.
During the fight Wleh allegedly tried to hit her sister in the head with a clothes iron but missed, striking her in the shoulder instead.
She then allegedly broke a piece of glass in a picture frame that had fallen off the wall during the fight and used it as a weapon, cutting her sister multiple times.
Wleh told police her sister deserved every cut she got, calling her “evil.”
“When asked to explain why [Wleh] thought someone was going to die, she responded that she was tired and she wanted peace from her agony and from the victim,” the criminal complaint reads. “She then went off on a tangent about money and complained that the victim claimed to not have enough money
to help [her], but yet had enough to buy her nearly one‐half a million dollar house. Finally, she admitted that she felt the victim should die, that she wanted to kill the victim once and for all, that she ‘gashed’ her repeatedly, but stated that what happened was not planned.”
She’s been booked in the Sherburne County Jail.
