NYC man stabs his mom, 61, to death during argument inside her apartment: cops

Police say Martin Thomas, 43, fatally stabbed his 61-year-old mother, Annie Nesmith, during an argument in her Bronx apartment late Monday. She was taken to hospital but died from her injuries; Thomas was arrested and charged with murder, manslaughter and weapon possession.

The stabbing happened at about 10.15pm on East 208th Street in Norwood. Nesmith lived with two grandsons, and neighbours described her as kind and said the family seemed close; investigators have not said what sparked the dispute. Thomas’s arraignment was pending, and police said he had two earlier arrests for possessing a loaded gun.
