Ann Lewis's Daughter Murdered

This is horrible.

Tragedy has struck the family of Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank whose niece was found murdered in her Virginia home Monday.

NewsCenter 5's Steve Sbraccia reported that Arlington, VA., police have charged Susan Lewis' husband with murder.

A baby sitter returning to the Lewis household with the couple's 3-year old son said she discovered Lewis unconscious on the floor and Lewis' husband, James Powell, with stab wounds.

Officials rushed Lewis to the hospital, where she later died. Powell was treated at the hospital for what police have described as self-inflicted stab wounds to his arms.

Lewis, 41, is the daughter of Ann Lewis, a Democratic National Committee official, and niece to Frank.
