WOODRIDGE, Ill. (STMW) — A father killed his 3-year-old daughter in an apparent murder-suicide in southwest suburban Woodridge Friday, police said.
Police responded to a home in the 2700 block of Meadowdale Lane about 4:30 p.m., Woodridge police said in a statement. Officers found a dead man and the 3-year-old suffering from stab wounds, police said.
It was later determined that the 34-year-old man, Robert Bzdek, had stabbed his daughter Zuzanna multiple times before taking his own life, authorities said.
The girl was taken to Edward Hospital in Naperville, where she later died in surgery, police said.
It was not released whether the incident happened at their home.
