According to the NY Post, police are investigating whether 14-year-old Sabrina Matthews "may have been killed by a boyfriend she recently met over the Internet." Matthews was found by her father in their Cambria Heights home on Sunday; her throat was slit and she was naked from the waist down. The Daily News reports that her father was arrested last year for punching an older daughter; neighbors say the police had come to the Matthews home for a number of "domestic disturbances" related to that daughter. And a neighbor says that there was apparently blood on the Matthews' floor early Sunday morning, claiming the victim's mother told her, "I saw black stuff all over the floor leading down to the basement. I didn't think anything of it. I figured my husband stepped in mud outside."
