Woman charged in eastern Pa. stabbing death

MAHANOY CITY, Pa. (AP) - An eastern Pennsylvania woman has been charged in the stabbing death of her mother's boyfriend in December.

Thirty-three-year-old Kimberly Hons of Mahanoy City was charged Tuesday with voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault in the December death of 52-year-old Lawrence Quinn.

Authorities in Schuylkill County say Quinn died of a single stab wound inside the home where both lived along with Hons' mother.

The (Pottsville) Republican-Herald (http://bit.ly/1l1hWYq ) reports that investigators allege that the stabbing followed an argument over an earlier dispute between the man and the defendant's mother.

Court records don't list an attorney for Hons, and a listed number for her could not be found Wednesday.
