Willingboro woman pleads guilty to beating her husband to death

April 30, 2018

A Willingboro woman pleaded guilty Monday in Superior Court to fatally beating her husband with a fire extinguisher last year, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Laciana Tinsley, 43, will serve 24 years in New Jersey state prison for aggravated manslaughter in the death of Douglas Tinsley, 74, as part of an agreement with the prosecutor’s office.

“I just kept beating him in the head, because he kept trying to get up and come after me,” Tinsley said in a recording of a 911 call she made on Jan. 30, 2017.
