A 51-year-old woman is accused of stabbing two girls ages 4 and 1, who she was babysitting at their home in Lisle, authorities said.

Jennifer Kouchoukos is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated battery of a victim under age 13, and two counts of aggravated battery using a deadly weapon.

On Wednesday, DuPage County Judge Joshua Dieden denied Kouchoukos pretrial release.

About 5:15 p.m. Nov. 17 Lisle police were called to a residence on Matson Lane for a report of an attempted suicide, according to the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office. Police found the two girls with stab wounds. They were treated at Comer Children’s Hospital.
