Edna White, 57, pleaded guilty to the murder Monday. She faces a sentencing in January.
Edna White TRENTON - A Trenton woman pleaded guilty Monday to stabbing her ex-boyfriend to death during an argument in his home last year.
Edna White, 57, who previously served prison time for killing a boyfriend in 1980, now faces 13 years in prison for killing another ex-boyfriend, Dwelle Jerome Clark.
Police said White and Clark, 55, had gotten into an argument at Clark's Trenton home in Feb. 2014.
Assistant Prosecutor James Scott said last year that White and Clark argued in an upstairs bedroom. White followed Clark into another bedroom and used a 10-inch steak knife to stab him once, deep in the chest.

White was indicted a year ago on charges of murder, aggravated assault and weapons offenses. She pleaded guilty Monday in Mercer County Criminal Court and a judge scheduled her sentencing for Jan. 14. Prosecutors intend to ask for a 13-year prison sentence, according to a representative from the prosecutor's office.
In 1980, White stabbed her then-boyfriend to death with a steak knife and pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison for that stabbing.
