A New York woman who worked as a home health aide for an elderly patient was charged with attempted murder.

Amanda Fraser, 23, was arrested in October after she allegedly stabbed Wendy Wilson, the then-84-year-old woman she was tasked with caring for as an overnight home health aide. According to Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly, Fraser was caught on surveillance cameras at Wilson's home in Massapequa, New York, at 2:08 a.m. on Oct. 29, entering Wilson's bedroom as she slept. Fraser then allegedly plunged a chef's knife with an 8-inch blade into Wilson's torso and "repeatedly whispered for the woman to succumb."

Donnelly said that Fraser then left the older woman to bleed in her bed alone until the next home health aide arrived.
