BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) - A Brockton woman is accused of killing her boyfriend, hiding his body in a closet and telling police he died during a botched robbery.
Thirty-three-year-old Kathryn Podgurski was charged with murder Monday in the death of 44-year-old Joseph Shaw. She was arraigned in Brockton District Court and is being held without bail.
The Plymouth district attorney says a relative of Podgurski called police Friday saying men tried to rob Podgurski and Shaw at their apartment and killed Shaw.
