A 17-year-old is accused of stabbing a Vineland woman to death early Friday, the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s Office said.
The juvenile was charged with murder, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose in the death of Christina Asselta, 38.
Officers responded to a home on Union Road at 4 a.m. and found Asselta suffering from stab wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene, the Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release. Investigators say the teen knew Asselta.
The Prosecutor’s Office did not release additional information, citing the nature of the investigation and the suspect’s age.
