Girlfriend Allegedly Confesses to Stabbing Man to Death

Whit Johnson Reporting
A woman stabbed her boyfriend to death at a Weber County campground.
Investigators have the woman in custody but are still looking for answers.
The stabbing took place in South Fork Canyon at the Weber County Memorial
Campground. It's about 20 miles west of Ogden off of State Road 39. The
campground is actually closed for the season, so investigators don't know
why the group was there at all.
Apparently, after the stabbing the woman drove up the road to get some help.
She told U.S. Forest Service officers she had stabbed her boyfriend to
death. The man was found just outside the gate to the campground.
Captain Klint Anderson with the Weber County Sheriff's office said, "We
found an adult male lying in front of the gate. He had been killed...Whether
it was self defense or not, that's something they'll have to determine. Of
course that plays a role in what we decide to do, whether charges are
appropriate or not."
Several children witnessed the stabbing. Police say their statements will be
vital in figuring out what happened.
"Children are especially vulnerable and impressionable, so it's always
tragic if a child is a witness to an event like this, or any kind of violent
event," Captain Anderson said.
Thirty-four-year-old Monkika Dilmaghanian from Ogden has been charged with
one felony count of homicide. There has been some question as to the
possibility of this being self-defense, but that seems to be unlikely now.
The victim has not been identified as his family is still being notified.
