A Wall Township woman died last month after being attacked with a machete by her ex-boyfriend, according to new details revealed in court documents.

The victim's 3-year-old child witnessed the attack, court documents say.

The suspect in this case, Alex Williams, allegedly told police he caught his girlfriend cheating on him and admitted making a 911 call earlier that morning where he said he “just killed his girl.”

A witness told police she could hear Williams yelling “you cheated on me” while waiving a machete.
