The Erie County Coroner says a woman allegedly killed by her live-in boyfriend died of strangulation and a stab wound to her neck, making the case the northwestern Pennsylvania county's first homicide of 2011.
Twenty-four-year-old Anthony Hales, of Lake City, remained jailed Monday. He was arrested about 11 p.m. Friday in and charged with criminal homicide and other charges in the death of 47-year-old Christina Hulsinger..
State police say a kitchen knife with a 10-inch blade was found near the body and was believed to be used in the attack. Police say Hales told them he decided to kill Hulsinger after they two smoked crack cocaine together. He's also charged with theft because police say Hales also stole $300 using Hulsinger's debit card in order to buy more drugs.
Online court records don't list an attorney for Hales, who faces a preliminary hearing Feb. 8.
