An Ellwood City man is facing homicide charges after, police say, he strangled his live-in girlfriend.
Keith Wolfrey, 23, was arrested at the couple's apartment at 804 Pershing St. after calling the police about 10:30 a.m. Sunday.
He is charged with criminal homicide and abuse of corpse. Mr. Wolfrey was arraigned Sunday evening and held without bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 1.
Investigators have not yet released the victim's name, but she is described as a 20-year-old woman. The couple had a 6-month-old baby, police said.
