A Medford woman has been arrested for an alleged domestic dispute turned fatal after authorities say she stabbed her husband to death last night.
According to the Middlesex District Attorney’s office, Shawntina Burston, 39, of Medford, was arrested at 108 Exchange Avenue around 10:45 p.m. The suspect’s husband, Troy Burston, 34, was suffering from an apparent stab wound, authorities said.
Burston was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead, authorities added.
“This is another troubling incident of domestic violence turned fatal,” said Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone. “We allege that the victim was fatally stabbed by his wife during an argument, sadly leaving two young children behind.”
An investigation is ongoing.
