Newport Police Charge Man With Domestic Strangulation
The victim told police he strangled her with his hands and then used his necklace.

Margo Sullivan is the editor of the Rhode Island Patch. She has worked at news organizations in New England and in New York City for 20 years. Her favorite assignments (besides Patch, of course) were The Gabby Dog column, a pet column featuring her cats Asia and Charlie (because cats always get top billing) and her dogs Gabby, Lucky, Heather and Lollypop and an all too brief stint on the City Desk at the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.
The victim told police he strangled her with his hands and then used his necklace.
