A college student has been charged with murdering the psychiatrist who had him committed to a mental health institution.
Christopher
Frick, 21, confessed that he broke into the home of Dr. Caroline Ekong
at 4am last Wednesday and stabbed her to death – three years after she
ordered him placed him into a facility – police said.
After
he admitted to killing her, officers found a journal belonging to Frick
that revealed he had been plotting to kill Ekong for at least the past
year, they said.
‘The
commonplace involuntary commitment at Rockford Center is prominent
because it is owned by the for-profit company Universal Health
Services.’
He
also posted an online review of the facility, which ends with: ‘The
person who imprisoned me was Caroline Ekong, whose ego is so large that
she would never be able to admit doing something wrong.’
After
murdering Ekong last week, 55, Frick drove to his parents’ house and
called police to confess to his crime – around the same time the
psychologist’s daughter discovered her mother’s body.
Ekong
had been stabbed multiple times when she was found at the home she
shared with her college-aged daughter and son, as well as her mother and
husband John Etim – whom she married just 13 months ago.
Frick
was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree burglary, possession
of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony, home invasion and
possession of burglary tools.
He is being held without bail.
Authorities
said that a search of of the home of Frick’s parents as well as his
residence at the University of Delaware produced evidence that showed
the young man was ‘obsessed’ with Ekong – even though she had not seen
him for three years.
Why Frick was committed and his mental state at that time are being protected while police continue their investigation.
Frick
was upset that Ekong had him committed to a mental institution three
years ago and since then had attacked her, including in this online
review from last year
Total waste of a such a gorgeous asset. Beauty and brains utterly wasted.
