A 52-year-old Rye woman was killed last Thursday after being stabbed to death while on vacation in France.

Multiple media outlets have identified the stabbing victim as Cathleen Scherer McDonough, who was visiting her daughter in France.

McDonough was stabbed at around 5 p.m. on April 6 in the Paris suburb of Montreuil.

According to the French newspaper Le Fiargo, McDonough was stabbed by a homeless man while photographing street art. The man reportedly stabbed McDonough six times.

The homeless man was arrested and authorities are describing him as an “unbalanced man,” Le Figaro reported.

The suspect has since been transferred to a psychiatric hospital near Paris, the French newspaper reported.

Friends and family took to Facebook over the weekend to offer their condolences to McDonough’s family.

McDonough’s sister, Stephanie Scherer Walker, made a request for privacy.

“The family respectfully asks for privacy at this time,” she said in a Facebook post. “A statement will be released at a time when we deem it necessary and have all of the facts.”
