A woman from Williamstown, Dauphin County was arrested Thursday after a Grand Jury found she lied to police about killing her ex-husband in self defense.
In August, Gina Murphy, 47, told police she shot her ex-husband in self defense.
Crews were called to a home at 461 East Market Street in Williamstown for a shooting victim. Daniel Murphy, 53, was found on the floor of the home, which he shared with his ex-wife. They shared the home, even though the two were married to other people.
Originally, Murphy told police she attacked him when he came at her with a cleaver and a knife.
According to a grand jury investigation, Murphy lied. In the presentment, the grand jury concluded Murphy wanted to inherit the home the two shared. The presentment says Murphy staged the killing as self defense, but only her DNA was on the steak knife found next to Daniel's body. The cleaver was found upstairs in a bedroom.
