Conn. woman busted for strangling boyfriend: cops

HARTFORD, Conn. — Police have arrested a woman suspected of strangling a man in a Hartford condominium.

Lt. Brian Foley, commander of the police major crimes division, said the 24-year-old woman called 911 at about 1 p.m. Saturday, claiming that she had a domestic-violence incident with her boyfriend. Officers who arrived at the home found the 27-year-old man dead at the scene.

Foley said investigators have evidence that the man was strangled, but the medical examiner will formally determine the cause of death.

Foley says detectives are investigating the case, including any domestic-violence issues at the home.

Foley said the woman will likely be charged Saturday night. He said police are working with the Connecticut State Attorney’s Office to determine what charges should be applied against the suspect.=
