(May 14) - A woman stabbed in a New York City park in broad daylight whispered her killer's name before she died, the Daily News reported Thursday.
"Mike did it," 23-year-old Nimzay Aponte said, the paper quoted Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly as saying.

"Mike" was the screen name used by an ex-convict with whom she had chatted on the Internet, police said. She had rebuffed his requests to meet in person, the paper said.
Aponte was attacked around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday as she sat on a bench with a male friend in St. Mary's Park in the city's Bronx borough, police said. She was stabbed twice and the friend was slashed several times. He survived.
Police arrested Raymond Dennis, 35, on charges of murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. He had served time in the past for assault and drug possession.
Police said Dennis, angry at being rejected, had somehow figured out that Aponte would be attending a job-hunting seminar and attacked her during a break in the session.
