NJ woman allegedly used tape dispenser, shower rod to beat her roommate to death
MANCHESTER, N.J. — A woman allegedly fatally beat her male roommate with a tape dispenser, a shower rod and other household items during a dispute inside their southern New Jersey home last month.
Ocean County prosecutors said 56-year-old Mary Carbone was charged Wednesday with murder and four weapons offenses. It’s not known if she’s retained an attorney.
The charges stem from the death of Frank Stochel, who was found Feb. 24 lying on the floor of his Manchester home.
His death was ruled a homicide, but authorities haven’t disclosed a cause of death. Prosecutors said the investigation determined that Carbone used several household items to commit the murder.
