Bride Fatally Stabs Fiance Hours Before Wedding

Quote:

A bride-to-be is charged with murder after allegedly stabbing her fiance just hours before the couple's wedding was to start near Whitehall, Pa.

Na Cola Darcel Franklin, 31, and her fiance Billy Rafael Brewster, 36, were planning to tie the knot at 10 a.m. on Saturday, but at some point during the night, Franklin and Brewster began arguing, Steve Luksa, first deputy to the Lehigh County District Attorney, told ABCNews.com.

In the heat of the argument, Franklin allegedly stabbed Brewster twice with a kitchen knife, police said.

"One of the stab wounds punctured his heart," Luksa said.

When police arrived at the apartment, shortly after 2 a.m., they found Brewster bleeding from chest wounds on the second floor landing.

He was transported to the Lehigh County Trauma center and pronounced dead at 3:24 a.m., less than seven hours before the wedding.

I guess it's true when they say that getting married will end your life.

One of my best friends from 7th grade was named Billy Brewster. His family moved to Pennsylvania. This guy is the right age. I wonder if it's him. So far I haven't been able to find a picture or an obit to confirm.

Something I just don't seem to understand in some of these events. How the hell can you let someone stab you? Are you not able to read body language? Are you not able to see intentions in the heat of the situation?

More than likely alcohol was involved

Finally saw a news report with a picture and also an interview with his mother. It was definitely the guy I used to know. This dude was one of my best friends in 6th and 7th grade, but I hadn't seen him in over 20 years. What a trip.

Sorry to hear that, man, I'm sure it's still a shock to hear even after twenty plus years.
