The 2014 killing of Andrew Wagner, stabbed to death by his fiancée in their Worcester townhouse, will be recounted Saturday on the television news magazine “48 Hours.”
Stephanie Fernandes, who lived with Wagner on Angelo Street in Worcester, was convicted in the slaying and is now serving a prison sentence of eight to 10 years. In June 2022, after a 10-day trial in Worcester Superior Court, she was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter – acquitted of the more serious murder charge.
Wagner, 31, a correction officer, died of a single stab wound to the neck on May 7, 2014.
Fernandes argued at trial that she was a battered woman who had acted in self-defense during an assault. Prosecutors alleged Fernandes was the prime aggressor in a tumultuous relationship that culminated in murder.
The television report, to air at 10 p.m. Saturday , includes an interview with Fernandes and her teenage daughter. Angelina Fernandes testified at the trial.
