AUGUSTA, Ga. – Authorities say a Georgia woman struck her boyfriend in the head with a stiletto heel and killed him.

Richmond County sheriff's Capt. Scott Peebles said Monday that 46-year-old Thelma Carter of Augusta is charged with murder in the death of 58-year-old Robert F. Higdon.

Authorities say they believe Higdon was killed sometime Sunday evening after a dispute between the two inside their home.

Authorities say an autopsy has been scheduled for Tuesday.

Jail records did not indicate whether Carter has an attorney in the case.
