Reading, PA: Pa. man charged in girlfriend's stabbing death

The Associated Press

READING, Pa. - Police in eastern Pennsylvania have charged a man with stabbing his girlfriend to death early Tuesday.

Reading police say they responded just before 2 a.m. to reports of a domestic disturbance and found 39-year-old Maria Albers-Cosme lying on the front steps of a neighbor's home. They say she had been stabbed in the chest in her own home and then walked outside and collapsed. Albers-Cosme was pronounced dead shortly afterward by a Berks County deputy coroner.

Police say 40-year-old Brian Henderson, who lived at the same address, was charged with first- and third-degree murder and aggravated assault. Detectives said he would be arraigned and then taken to Berks County Prison without bail; it was unclear whether he had an attorney.
