A WOMAN charged with stabbing a tourist from Garswood to death in New York State is due to appear back in court next month.

Denise Webster, died aged 61 on Monday, August 13, 2018 after she was fatally stabbed at a house in Great Neck on Long Island.

Faye Doomchin, 66, of North Road, Great Neck, New York was charged with second degree murder in connection with the stabbing.

Denise, who had travelled to America to see an Adam Lambert concert, had lunch with a man and Doomchin, police said.

The three of them reportedly went back to the house in Great Neck for coffee and cake and to listen to the man play piano.

Doomchin allegedly made statements that she did not like the woman from England and that she had to “rid the house of evil.”

The suspect is alleged to have appeared from the kitchen with a knife, went right over to Ms Webster and stabbed her in the chest.

Ms Webster was taken to a local hospital where she was confirmed to be dead.

A touching tribute to Denise by mum Eleanor Ewens, from Haydock, was featured in the Star's obituary notices.

The notice said: "Fly me up to where you are, be on the distant star. I wish upon tonight to see your smile, if only for a while to know you're there. A breath a way's not far too where you are. Lie gently sleeping here inside my dream and isn't faith believing All power can't be seen as my heart holds you both Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me everyday."

Doomchin was arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead, New York in August and pleaded not guilty to second degree murder.

She is being held without bail.

Doomchin is due to appear back in court on Friday, February 8.
