Killer Prom Invitation -- Connecticut
This is a sad story about another high school stabbing last week.

High school junior Chris Plaskon (left) is in custody after allegedly stabbing to death junior Maren Sanchez (right, shown modeling her prom dress) on Friday. The prom was cancelled and her class (center) instead wore their tuxes and gowns to a vigil for Maren last night.
Maren Sanchez, 16, was an honor roll student, captain of the swim team, and community programs volunteer. Sounds like a very good kid.
She was minding her own business at Jonathan Law High School in Milford, Connecticut on Friday morning when she was attacked, choked and then stabbed to death in a hallway.
Word around the school is that she was invited to prom by a fellow 16-year-old student but declined the invitation -- so he murdered Maren.
The 16-year-old suspect has not been named by LE, but students at the school have identified him as Chris Plaskon. He was friends with Sanchez's boyfriend but Sanchez's best friend said that Plaskon had been obsessed with Sanchez for a couple of years.
Plaskon was stopped by two teachers who were alerted to the attack -- several students witnessed the brutal killing. Plaskon was apprehended by police immediately. He is under suicide watch at a psych ward, officials and his lawyer said on Saturday. He’ll be held under a 15-day emergency commitment and may not appear in court on the pending murder charge until mid-May.
But a Milford Superior Court hearing — in which a judge could decide as early as next week to have him charged as an adult — could proceed in his absence, the lawyer said.
RIP Maren Sanchez.
