Holiday indicted in Kornegay slaying
A Nash County grand jury on Tuesday indicted a man accused of stabbing two women inside a Rocky Mount church a month ago.
Tommy Lee Holiday, 30, a homeless man, was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder and two counts of armed robbery.
Holiday is accused of attacking Debbie Kornegay, 58, and Eve Beasley, 60, on Oct. 18 while the two were preparing food inside Lakeside Baptist Church for the Meals on Wheels program. Kornegay died from her injuries, and Beasley still is recovering at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in Greenville.
“She’s doing great,” said Billy Beasley, Eve Beasley’s son. “She had her last surgery Monday, and she’s got family with her.
“She can talk, and they get her up every day so she can sit in a chair.”
