The amedment of charges stems from a July 2019 incident in Audubon Park, Camden County when 63-year-old Nancy Kenny was reportedly stabbed and slashed with a sharp object. She was able to identify her attacker as 72-year-old Philip Puche of Cherry Hill.

On March 15th, Kenny died as a result of complications from her injuries, according to Camden County Prosecutor's Office.
