New York: Police in the US have arrested an 18-year-old woman charged with stabbing her boyfriend to death and then allegedly admitting to the killing on Facebook, media reports said.
Nakasia James was arrested from Hemet city in California on Sunday, nearly a week after the killing of 21-year-old Dorian Powell in San Bernardino county, dailymail.co.uk reported on Monday.
It is believed the couple had been involved in a domestic dispute, which had turned violent, before Powell's death.
The Facebook post, which has now been deleted, allegedly said that she was fighting with her former boyfriend before he hit her in the face and she grabbed a knife and stabbed him.
The post said: "I got the knife and and stabbed him did not think I would hurt him but he died and I'm on the run." (sic)

"Btsorryy lord hopefully u forgive me! And sorry Dorian Powell rip." (sic)
According to the Los Angeles Times, police found Powell dead after receiving a 911 call on the morning of January 11.
