GLEN FALLS, W.Va. — The suspect and victim involved in a Friday morning stabbing in Harrison County have been identified.
Martha Matheny, 61, is alleged to have stabbed her boyfriend, 66-year-old Howard Eskew, with a steak knife at a residence along Jack Run Road in Glen Falls, according to authorities.
Police responded to the scene just after 4 a.m. and sent Eskew via HealthNet to Ruby Memorial hospital to be treated for multiple stab wounds.
There’s no word on his condition at this time.
Matheny was later tracked down at her sister’s home, arrested and charged with Malicious Assault.
According to the Exponent-Telegram, her arraignment was delayed while a sign language interpreter was located, as Matheny can neither speak or hear.
Her bail was set at $25,000 and she was transported to North Central Regional Jail.
The incident remains under investigation by the Harrison County Sheriff’s Department.
