Man Charged With Killing Woman, Reportedly Wife, In Bronx Home

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A man has been arrested and charged with killing a woman inside a home in the Pelham Garden section of the Bronx.

Around noon on Sunday, police were sent to a home in the 1500 block of Astor Avenue in the Bronx, where they found a 57-year-old woman unconscious and unresponsive with a puncture wound to her left armpit and shoulder blade, police said.

The woman – identified as Cynthia Migliozzi – was pronounced dead at Jacobi Medical Center a short time later, police said.
