A judge in Vermont has ordered a mental evaluation for a homeless shelter resident accused of using an ax and knife to kill the shelter's coordinator in front of horrified workers.
Zaaina Mahvish-Jammeh, 38, purchased the ax from a hardware store before requesting a meeting with the shelter coordinator, and used the ax to strike the victim multiple times in the shelter's living room, police said. She pleaded not guilty to murder on Tuesday, a day after the attack, and remains jailed.
Leah Rosin-Pritchard, 36, suffered injuries to her face, neck and torso and was pronounced dead at the scene at Morningside House, a shelter operated by Groundworks Collaborative in Brattleboro, police said. Police said Mahvish-Jammeh used an ax with an 18-inch handle and a knife in the attack.
Officers saw Mahvish-Jammeh wiping blood off her hands with a paper towel, CBS affiliate WPRI-TV reported, citing court documents said.
