David B. Knott was arrested and charged with Second Degree Murder in Edinburg, Va. over the weekend.

An Edinburg, Va. woman was fatally stabbed Saturday afternoon in Shenandoah County, according to the Virginia State Police, and a suspect has been taken into custody and charged with her murder.

According to a press release from the Virginia State Police, shortly before 3 p.m. Saturday (Jan. 26, 2019), the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office responded to a 911 call for a malicious wounding at a residence on Dellinger Acres Road. VSP Sgt. Brent Coffey stated that upon arrival at the scene, deputies found an adult female “suffering from multiple stab wounds.”

Coffey said the woman was transported to Shenandoah Memorial Hospital, where she died from her injuries. The victim was identified as Cynthia G. Dellinger, 63, of Edinburg, Va.

State Police arrested David B. Knott, 55, of Edinburg, and charged him with second-degree murder. He is being held at the Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren Regional Jail without bond.

Sgt. Coffey says the Bureau of Criminal Investigations continues to investigate the crime, which he called “an isolated incident.”
