Sacred Heart Academy Honors Slain Milford Student


Students at Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden honored the memory of Jonathan Law High School student Maren Sanchez on Monday.

Dressed in varying shades of purple — Maren's favorite color, the students held a service, "Our Hearts Are with Maren," for the 17-year-old who was fatally stabbed in her school early April 25.

A 16-year-old suspect, who allegedly stabbed the Jonathan Law High School junior  to death Friday morning — after she reportedly declined his offer to attend the prom — has been charged with murder, Milford Police said.
