MORRISANIA — A woman suspected of stabbing her boyfriend to death in their Bronx apartment turned herself in Monday morning, police said.

Justine Dorsey, 24, stabbed Theron Hamilton, 51, one time in the chest in their East 169th Street home, near Third Ave., at roughly 1:30 a.m. Saturday, NYPD officials and court documents said.

Hamilton, who shared the apartment with Dorsey, was taken to Lincoln Medical Center and pronounced dead, according to authorities.

Dorsey, who has been arrested six times before, turned herself into the 42nd Precinct stationhouse about 10 a.m. Monday morning, an NYPD spokesman said.

She was charged with murder and is being held at Rikers Island, according to jail records.

She's due back in court on Aug. 28, records show.
