An Armstrong County woman accused of attacking her husband with a hatchet last summer now faces a murder charge.
Authorities say 41-year-old Thomas Snyder survived the July attack inside the family’s Manor Township home but died in December.
Melanie Sue Snyder, 41, was originally charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault, but now faces a homicide charge after an autopsy found that Thomas died of pneumonia as a result of brain damage from the attack.
Melanie remains in the Armstrong County Jail.
