Wife arrested in stabbing death of husband

A Pickens County woman has been charged with the murder of her husband. Investigatiors say the late night fatal stabbing on Pickens Drive was witnessed by the couple’s three children–4, 7 and 8 years old.  Coroner Kandy Kelley said Matthew Mickelboro was found stabbed Wednesday night in a neighbor’s yard and pronounced dead at a Greenville hospital.  An investigation thru the night led Pickens sheriff’s detectives to charge Mickelboro’s wife, Samantha Pardew-Lingwai, with murder and the possession of a weapon during a violent crime.  Detectives believe the stabbing occurred in the couple’s home and that Mickelboro called his mother, and collapsed in the neighbor’s yard as he tried to leave. DSS is handling the supervision of the children.
