EAST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A South Windsor teen-ager has been charged with using a razor to carve the phrase, ''Forever yours,'' into a 16-year-old girl's back.
East Hartford police arrested David Coakley, 19, on Sunday on a second-degree assault charge.
The girl told police that the carving was a ''love ritual.'' She also told authorities that she and Coakley had been drinking alcohol and that she had been off her anti-depressant medication for more than a week.
Coakley also had cuts on his arms, police said. Officers said they searched Coakley's car and found pictures of the cutting as well as a diary written in blood.
The girl's grandmother learned of the incident from one of the girl's friends, police said. The friend said Coakley and the girl had been on the Internet discussing the cutting and how they took pictures of it. The grandmother called police.
The girl was brought to Connecticut Children's Medical Center in Hartford for treatment.
When Coakley was in the East Hartford jail, he reopened his wounds and used blood to trace a heart containing the couple's pet names for each other on a cell wall, police said.
Coakley was arraigned Monday in Manchester Superior Court
