Updated 8:21 PM;
Police say a Geistown man admitted to stabbing a local woman to death inside his apartment, blaming an argument over the price of a refrigerator for sparking the clash.
Denise Williams, 54, of Hornerstown, was stabbed multiple times with a knife despite efforts to protect herself from the attack after agreeing on social media to buy the fridge at his apartment, County Coroner Jeff Lees said.
“She put up one heck of a fight to defend herself,” Lees said. “But this was a violent death she sustained.”

PHILADELPHIA Sean Parnell, a decorated combat veteran and favorite of former President Donald Trump, is all but certain to run for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, according to a Republican official who spoke with Parnell this week.
“He said he was 99% sure this is what he was going to do,” said Sam DeMarco, the Republican chairman in Allegheny County, where Parnell came up just short in a high-profile bid for Congress last year. “If he does make that decision, he’s going to be a formidable candidate.”
