UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- Police said a man used a microwave oven to attack his live-in girlfriend and then beat her to death early Thursday morning in Uniontown, Fayette County.

Walter Fordyce, 58, said he began arguing with Mary McCann, 55, after she refused to heat up roast beef sandwiches for him, according to police.

Fordyce allegedly told police that he threw McCann on the floor, threw the microwave onto her chest and beat her head against the floor until she lost consciousness.

McCann was found dead in a bedroom at her home on Carlisle Street, police said.

Autopsy results are not available yet.

Fordyce is being held without bond at the Fayette County Prison on a charge of criminal homicide.
