A Leesburg man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of his wife, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies responded to a reported injury from a fall at a residence on Lime Kiln Road in Leesburg shortly before 8:30 p.m. Saturday, authorities said. When they arrived at the home, they discovered Catherine Ann Combs-Lafleur, 59, who had injuries consistent with an assault, according to police. She died at the scene, police said.
After an investigation by the Loudoun Sheriff's Criminal Investigations Division, the victim's husband, Steven H. Combs-Lafleur, 61, was arrested and charged.
Sheriff spokesman Kraig Troxell said he was unaware of any prior reports of domestic violence at the residence.
