WOODLYNNE -- A woman has been charged with beating her boyfriend to death with frying pans, authorities said.

Maleia Cole, 33, was charged Saturday with murder in the killing of 35-year-old Jason Lewis, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office announced Tuesday.

Lewis was found conscious, but with injuries to his head and face that left him bleeding and dizzy when police arrived at the Pantry One, a former market on Mount Ephraim Avenue in Woodlynne on Sept. 2, authorities said.

Lewis told officers that Cole had followed him across the street and into Pantry One, beating him with metal frying pans, authorities said. She fled to her home about a block away on the street, police said.

Lewis was taken to a hospital and later underwent emergency surgery, authorities said. He died more than three weeks later on Sept. 26, authorities said.

Cole was taken into custody Monday, and is being held in the Camden County Correctional Facility pending a detention hearing.

A funeral service will be held for Lewis Wednesday at 7 p.m. at May Funeral Home in Pennsauken.
