NORTON, Va. — One of the two victims in a southwestern Virginia domestic violence attack has died.

Sean Daniel Roberts, 40, of Norton, had been charged with assault and battery of a family member and aggravated malicious wounding for allegedly attacking a woman and child with a weapon early Friday morning. He was arrested later that day in Kentucky.

Now he faces more serious charges, after one of the victims died. Police have not identified the victims nor said which one died. They have also not specified what type of weapon was used in the attack.

Roberts is currently being held in the Three Forks Regional Jail, in Beattyville, awaiting extradition to Virginia.
