ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — Police in Roswell say a woman has been arrested in connection with the death of her cousin and the stabbing and wounding of a man. They say 41-year-old Marcella Reese was taken into custody Monday. She's accused of second-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and is being held without bond at the Chaves County Detention Center. It was unclear Monday if she has a lawyer yet. Reese allegedly stabbed the two victims March 26 at a west Roswell apartment and police believe she was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Authorities identified the female victim as 46-year-old Charlotte Byrd, who was Reese's cousin. She was declared dead at the scene. Police say the 55-year-old male victim remains hospitalized in stable condition. His name hasn't been released.
