Update: 2 arraigned in Charlestown stabbings

SOUTH KINGSTOWN --Two men were arraigned in District Court in South Kingstown this morning in connection with stabbings in Charlestown Saturday night that sent two people to the hospital.

Marcus D. Burrell, 37, of the Shannock Village section of Richmond, and Brent A. Roberts, 22, of Narragansett, are both being held on $100,000 bail for assault and attempted murder. (An earlier report had incorrectly said Burrell was a Charlestown resident.)

Sadie Sullivan, 22, of Narragansett, and Sean Wilk, 26, of Charlestown, were both being treated at Rhode Island Hospital.

Wilk, who was in critical condition after being stabbed six times, has been upgraded to fair. Sullivan, who was stabbed in the innner thigh, was released yesterday, a hospital spokeswoman said today.

The police say the suspects and the victims were at a party on Sand Plain Road in Charlestown Saturday when a fight broke out, leading to the stabbings.
