LOCKPORT, N.Y. — A Lockport man is facing a second-degree murder charge after a woman was found dead in a home Wednesday.
David B. Fermoile, 64, was arraigned on one murder charge and is being held at the Niagara County Correctional Facility without bail, according to the county sheriff's office.
Fermoile is accused of killing his sister, 68-year-old Dianne M. Fermoile-McAvoy. Their mother, who is 98 years old, was also in the home at the time.
Fermoile-McAvoy's body was found after the county's dispatch center received a call, requesting a wellness check on Windermere Road, where a nurse had not been able to make contact with a patient.
Officers who arrived at the home found Fermoile-McAvoy on the floor with multiple head and facial injuries. She was declared dead at the scene.
