Woman Accused Stabbing Fiance To Death On Wedding Day

Woman Accused Stabbing Fiance To Death On Wedding DayLEHIGH COUNTY, PA – In what some may call a mercy killing, a woman in Pennsylvania was charged with the stabbing death of her fiancé, hours before they were to be married.

Hours before 31-year-old Na Cola Darcel Franklin and 36-year-old Billy Brewster were supposed to be married Saturday morning, Franklin allegedly used a knife to stab Brewster in the heart during an early morning argument.

According Monique Kali,  the wife of Brewster’s cousin, the couple got into an argument inside the apartment they shared. When she heard someone yell “knife!” she went to investigate. She told police she saw her husband standing between Brewster, who was bleeding from his side, and Franklin, who was waving a knife around. Not wanting to see her husband stabbed, Kali tackled Franklin to the ground while her husband took the knife away from Franklin.

Police would arrive on the scene to find Brewster bleeding to death from two stab wounds, one of which had punctured his heart. He was pronounced dead at the hospital an hour later and Franklin was arrested on one count of homicide. During her Saturday hearing via video, Franklin was unable to accept that her fiancé was dead.

“You got to check again!” she pleaded with the judge after being told she had murdered Brewster. When they informed her they were pretty confident Brewster was dead, hence the murder charge against her, Franklin reportedly wailed and covered her face in her hands. “I want my family back,” she said, rocking gently back and forth. “I want to go home.”

When she was asked if she understood the charges against her, Franklin choked out, “I … did … not … kill … him … on … purpose,” one word at a time.

People who were to attend the couple’s wedding began showing up at the apartment Saturday morning, not having heard the news. Even the pastor who was to perform the 10:00 a.m. wedding ceremony showed up after not hearing from the couple.

      Better to find out it wouldn’t work before the wedding.

    • sugarpie

      Planning a wedding is stressful, but sheesh…

    • SayAunt

      Na Cola wanted a Pepsi instead of a Brewster.

    • 18th40

      Heh, possibly. Na Cola Darcel Franklin and Billy Brewster, I was wondering if she wasn’t just jealous of his exotic sounding name, you know…in comparison to hers and all.

      Hahahahahaha!!!! @ Your opening sentence! And What the fuck?! at everything after it… How do you stab someone in the heart and “not kill them on purpose.”?

    • tinalib13

      Someone needs to explain to her the consequences of stabbing someone in the heart. I don’t think she gets it. :-/

    • EveryVillainIsLemons

      No, “‘Til death do us part” comes AFTER the wedding, idiot!

    • Shar G’z

      Well, they always said it is bad luck to see your bride before the wedding…

      This dude picked the wrong one huh?

    • Sam

      I guess she didn’t agree with the pre-nup.

      Ha!

    • 18th40

      Unless he was using the new Kevorkian Online Love and Dating service, or KOLD as they call it, I’d have to assume your correct.

    • curiousalways

      good one

    • kcjosh

      Never stick your dick in crazy.

    • DEADfairie

      wow, that is sad. Can’t take that one back.

    • guillotinegirl

      “You got to check again!”

      If he comes back as a zombie, will the charges against her be dismissed?

    • tinalib13

      Too bad she killed him before finding that out huh?

    • tinalib13

      VERY good advice!

    • JGo555

      She’s doing great to sound crazy.

    • Athena

      I think that has to be part of the plea agreement. :P

    • dynadom

      How come all the women are making jokes.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=736546181 Michael Heldman

      Run!

    • tinalib13

      Lol Michael!!

    • lyssdexia

      Ummm… the same reason the guys are? Because they all share a wonderfully dark, twisted sense of humor?

      I just know that if my mama had named me NaCola Darcel, I’d have anger issues, too. That’s about as bad as getting beaten with a sack of broken glass, in the abuse department. o.0

    • bored_stiff

      If I had have known there was the choice to get offed before the wedding, I might have gone that way. Would have been a lot nicer and easier than the slow, painful, year after year slow killing my ex did to me. ;)

    • CT

      Are you married?

    • captaingrumpy

      They always say a crazy one is a good one.

    • captaingrumpy

      Isn’t Na Cola Narcel an A/A name ??????

    • newstarshipsmell

      Perhaps, but then they’d have to charge her with creating a public nuisance.

    • dynadom

      Does anyone think it heartbreaking to be murdered on you wedding day? I guess its okay because its a woman.

    • Sam

      Silly woman. You take half when you divorce the guy, not before you marry him. And even then it’s half his shit, not half his torso.

    • JohnQknowitall

      What a shame. Being so dedicated to family, she would have made such a great mother.

    • http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/ Dakota Valkyrie

      Here she is:

    • http://www.facebook.com/dre.mosley Dre Mosley

      She probably showed signs of being violent and a little batshit prior to this. Pay attention to warning signs.

    • newstarshipsmell

      Definitely a mercy killing.

    • CT

      I see lots of men here cracking jokes. Humor and death go hand in hand here. Are you new here? No one really thinks that anyone dying is a fucking laugh riot but in order to make sense of stupid things, people joke about it.

      You don’t like women?

    • CT

      This is her wedding day do? Damnnnn, she should have stabbed that person instead. I’d be mad.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=558500678 Kris Karnage

      If she was willing to do this to him on the day of, Me thinks he may have just dodged a future bullet.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=558500678 Kris Karnage

      There is just not enough ROFL. for this sentiment.

    • JohnQknowitall

      Irony, irony…

      I agree… there’s just something really tragic about this one.

      Too bad he didn’t dodge the knife….

      Bridezilla, needs a reality check.

      I feel the same way. No excuses for killing someone, but some people have bad tempers and don’t realize they are doing something really stupid. Only takes a second to make a big mistake.
