Fresno police announced at a news conference Wednesday that 41-year-old Aaron Jamal Dudley has been arrested in connection with the death of his sister, N-Kya Rebecca Logan, 26. Police say Logan was stabbed to death and then set on fire.
Several pieces of evidence led police to arrest Dudley, including the crime scene at the home and numerous witnesses who saw the fire.
“Investigators believe Dudley stabbed Logan multiple times with a sharp object while inside his home. He then put his sister’s body in a dumpster and took it to a nearby alley before setting it on fire,” – reports FOX 11 Los Angeles.
