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.”
