PLAINFIELD — A domestic dispute inside a Plainfield residence ended Wednesday when a man repeatedly stabbed his live-in girlfriend, killing the 48-year-old woman, authorities said today.
Police found Audrey Tanksley’s body, riddled with multiple knife wounds, around 5 p.m. Wednesday at a residence on the 300-block of East Seventh Street, said Albert Cernadas Jr, Union County’s first assistant prosecutor. She was dead when officers arrived, the prosecutor’s office said.
Her 50-year-old live-in boyfriend, Anthony James, was arrested at the scene on charges of murder and weapons offenses, Cernadas said. The couple had been living in the home for about three years, authorities said.
The prosecutor’s office would not say how many times the woman was stabbed or what type of knife was used. The results of an autopsy haven’t been released.
James is being held at the Union County jail on $1 million bail, Cernadas said.
