Pittsylvania County investigators arrested a 41-year-old woman in the fatal stabbing of a county man on Saturday, according to a news release.
Donna Michelle Barley was charged with murder in the killing. Her first court appearance was Monday in the Pittsylvania County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.
Authorities found Michael Brann Terry’s body Saturday in the front yard of his trailer at Lot 4 of Lakeside Plantation Mobile Home Park. Deputies were responding to a reported stabbing about 6 a.m.
The sheriff’s office collected evidence throughout Saturday at the trailer park.
A Roanoke medical examiner will perform an autopsy on Terry, according to a news release from the Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Office.
Terry’s family collected his belongings from the mobile home after the killing.
Family members said Terry was a hardworking employee for Burnett’s Construction, working on railroads.
Kristen Terry, 23, said her younger brother was intelligent and could fix anything.
He and his dad worked on cars together, family members said. The family also went fishing together.
“His son is going to be missing and my brother is going to be missing from this world,” Kristen Terry said.
