Woman charged with scalding death in Las Vegas(Killed with pot of boiling water)

LAS VEGAS — A 49-year-old woman is accused of killing another woman in July by boiling a pot of water and pouring it onto her body at a Las Vegas apartment.

Jackie Wilridge was expected to make a court appearance Thursday after being arrested Tuesday on charges of killing Patricia James by scalding her with water on July 3. Her lawyer had no comment.

Police said in a report that James went to a hospital July 5 with burns to about 15 percent of her body. She died July 7.

Police say James and several others were smoking crack cocaine in an apartment north of downtown Las Vegas when James announced that she had a large sum of cash.

Witness accounts vary, but police say Wilridge and two others then attacked James and took $2,000 to $3,000 in cash from her. Wilridge allegedly poured the water on James a few hours later.
