    OMAHA, Ne (KMTV) — 3 News Now reporter Jake Wasikowski says Aubrey Trail slashed his own throat in the middle of his murder trail at the Saline County Courthouse.

Trail shouted “Bailey is innocent and I curse you all” before he slashed his neck and fell from a wheelchair during court proceedings.

Trail was likely referencing 25-year-old Bailey Boswell, who’s also been charged with first-degree murder in the gruesome death and dismemberment of 24-year-old Sydney Loofe.

Boswell is awaiting trial.

He swiped what may have been a pen across his neck. Deputies and others rushed to help Trail as he lay on the courtroom floor in Wilber.

Medics wheeled him out of the courthouse on a gurney and loaded him into an ambulance to give him more medical aid.

It’s unclear what Trails’ injuries are and when the trial might resume.

Prosecutors say Loofe’s death was a planned abduction and killing. Trail’s attorney says Loofe’s killing was an accident that occurred as she, Trail and Boswell played out a consensual sex fantasy.
