Pregnant woman found slain, twin charged
DANVILLE, Va. (AP) -- A pregnant woman was found fatally stabbed in her
home Monday, and her twin brother was charged in her slaying, police
said.
Larry Ray Nielson, 28, was charged with first-degree murder in the
slaying of Tabitha Nielson Bonaparte, whose body was found just inside
the front door of her home. She had been stabbed several times in her
chest, back, stomach and arms.
Police Lt. Mike Mondul said the stabbing followed an argument between
the two. He said Bonaparte's six children were home at the time but did
not witness the slaying.
Bonaparte was approximately three months pregnant, police said. The
fetus did not survive.
Nielson, who was questioned shortly after his sister's body was found,
was being held in the Dansville City Jail. No court date was scheduled.
Mondul said the commonwealth's attorney was investigating whether
Nielson could be prosecuted under a 2004 Virginia law that allows
double homicide prosecutions in the slaying of a pregnant woman and her
child.
