Sad

A North Philadelphia man said he lost control early Valentine's Day morning when he beat his live-in girlfriend repeatedly and then stabbed her in the heart, according to police.

On Tuesday about 3:41 a.m., police were called to the 2000 block of North 11th Street, where Delores Jones, 47, was found beaten and stabbed, authorities said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

About nine hours later, police said, Jones' live-in boyfriend surrendered himself to authorities at the 22nd District and was subsequently charged with murder.
