A central Pennsylvania woman has pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault in the stabbing death of her boyfriend last summer.
The Lebanon Daily News says 30-year-old Gina Melendez entered the plea Thursday before Senior Judge Robert Eby in Lebanon County Court.
She faces 3 1/2 to seven years in prison when she is sentenced June 22.
Lebanon police say Melendez stabbed 36-year-old Roderick Dunham with a kitchen knife in their city apartment on July 28.
They said she told investigators that the stabbing followed an argument and physical altercation between the two.
