A Virginia woman died a week after her husband attacked her with a hammer, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.
Peter J. Lollobrigido, 49, assaulted his wife, 44-year-old Regina Redman-Lollobrigido, at an apartment in Sterling Sept. 19, the sheriff’s office said. She died from her injuries Sunday night.
Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
The victim had a protective order against her husband at the time of the hammer attack.
