A Wisconsin woman is accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend during an argument over dinner plans after he arrived at her apartment with food instead of taking her out, police said.
Mikayla Kloth, 27, has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the death of 25-year-old Lukas Rosch, according to a criminal in Waukesha County.
The incident happened Friday night, April 24, at Kloth’s apartment in Lac La Belle. Investigators said the couple had argued after Kloth told Rosch she wanted to go out to dinner. Instead, he arrived with chicken drumsticks and seasoning, intending to cook at the apartment using an air fryer, according to the complaint.
Police said the disagreement escalated into a verbal argument, during which Rosch grabbed a knife by the blade. Kloth then allegedly pushed the knife into his chest, stabbing him through the heart, according to the complaint.
When officers arrived, they found Rosch on the floor with a stab wound to his chest. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police asked Kloth if there had been a struggle, and she allegedly responded, “No, I did stab him,” according to the complaint.
Authorities said Kloth made additional statements while being taken into custody, including saying she “should have just gone to the bar” and that the situation was “irritating,” according to the complaint. She also reportedly said Rosch’s parents would now hate her.
Investigators said Kloth told them she had asked Rosch not to come over that night because she wanted to go out. Despite that, he showed up with plans to cook dinner.
A witness who lives in the apartment building told investigators she had spoken with Rosch about a week earlier and said he appeared fearful of Kloth, according to the complaint. The witness said Rosch told her, “Please take my full name, in case something ever happens to me.”
Kloth remains in custody at the Waukesha County Jail on a $2 million cash bond. She is scheduled to return to court on May 29.
