WARREN — A 23-year-old Warren man is charged with the New Year’s Eve stabbings of two people. Christopher Fitzwater of Mahoning Avenue appeared Thursday before municipal Judge Terry Ivanchak, who scheduled a preliminary hearing for Wednesday on two charges of felonious assault. He is being held in the county jail in lieu of a $50.000 bond. Fitzwater is accused of stabbing Boyd J. Proper, 39, and Kari Lynne Thomas, 21, at their home at 1936 Norwood St. N.W. Police said the couple allowed Fitzwater to sleep overnight and were then awakened by an attack in their bed. No motive for the stabbings has been given, although police reported drugs and alcohol were involved. Thomas was released; Proper remains in serious condition in St. Elizabeth Health Center.
