SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man in connection with another violent attack.

Just before 7 p.m.  Thursday, officers responded to an area hospital regarding an assault report, according to officer Charley Davidson.

The investigation revealed, the woman had been battered and strangled to the point of unconsciousness multiple times over several days at her home in the 2200 block of East Lockwood in Wichita, by her boyfriend identified as 27-year-old Nathan Rowe. 

A family member brought her to the hospital, according to Davidson.
