PRINCETON, W.Va.  — A suspect in the death of a man whose body was found Easter Sunday in a Lerona residence was arraigned Tuesday on a charge of second-degree murder.

The female suspect was arraigned by video before Magistrate Mike Flanigan on a second-degree murder charge, Mercer County Prosecuting Attorney George Sitler said.
