An Ephrata woman charged with pouring boiling water on her mother will stand trial after waiving a court hearing Tuesday.

Alisa Ashley Loump, 23, of Akron Road, and her boyfriend, Antoine Dewayne Walker, 18, of Edinburgh, Ind., both are charged with attempted homicide in the July 20 incident.

Loump told police that she was talking to Walker on the phone when he convinced her to pour the water over her sleeping mother, who opposed the young couple's relationship, according to court documents.

Walker, who was arrested in Indiana and extradited to Pennsylvania, also waived his right to a preliminary hearing Tuesday and will be scheduled for trial as well.

Both are being held in Lancaster County Prison on charges of attempted homicide and conspiracy.

Loump also is charged with aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Loump's mother, 49-year-old Jennie Loump, was hospitalized with second-degree burns over 70 percent of her body, but was prepared to testify Tuesday before District Judge Jene Willwerth.

Assistant District Attorney Sue Ellison is prosecuting the case. Defense attorney Merrill Spahn is representing Loump, and Barry Goldman is representing Walker.

Court records reveal the two met over the Internet and had been in a relationship for about eight months.
