A New Jersey woman allegedly stabbed a man to death with a set of nail clippers during a fight at their trailer park, officials said Tuesday.
Katheleen Ayala, 30, got into the deadly brawl with 35-year-old Alex Torres in their mobile home in Millville Sunday at around 1 a.m., the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office said.
The fight spilled outside, as Ayala chased Torres, allegedly stabbing him several times with the clippers, including in the leg, prosecutors said.
Ayala was originally charged with assault and weapons offenses.
She was charged with murder after Torres succumbed to his injuries Monday at Cooper Hospital.
Ayala is being held in Cumberland County Jail pending an initial court hearing.
Authorities haven’t said what the relationship between Ayala and Torres was, nor what prompted the alleged fight. They also didn’t explain exactly how she was able to kill Torres with the clippers.
