A Brick Township woman who authorities say beat her wife to death with a wine chiller inside their apartment last weekend has been arrested in Texas.

Mayra Gavilanez-Alectus was arrested Wednesday in Houston. Ocean County prosecutors say the 48-year-old Brick woman apparently had traveled there by bus from New York City, but did not release further details.

Gavilanez-Alectus is charged with murder and two weapons offenses in the slaying of 32-year-old Rebecca Gavilanez-Alectus. Brick police found her body in a bedroom when they responded Sunday to reports of an unresponsive person.

Authorities have not said what prompted the deadly attack.
