FITCHBURG, Mass. (AP) - A Massachusetts woman charged with stabbing her girlfriend to death has been arraigned on a murder charge.
The Worcester district attorney’s office says 33-year-old Wanda Liz Gonzalez, of Fitchburg, was arraigned Wednesday in the death of 34-year-old Jennifer Narvaez-Colon.
Gonzalez had originally been charged with domestic assault and other offenses. Prosecutors added the murder charge after a medical examiner ruled Narvaez-Colon’s death a homicide.

Police found Gonzalez suffering from wounds on her head and neck in the couple’s apartment.
Gonzalez’s attorney says his client’s wounds were defensive and she was the victim.
