Press conference at the link. I am glad they found the killer and shocked it was her coworker. Too bad Maryland does not have the death penalty but at the age of 27 life in prison is no picnic and I hope she has a very hard life there.
The suspect detained is the unidentified 27-year-old woman who also claimed she was attacked in the incident.
The suspect was found bound with Murray inside the store.
Police sources said statements from the 27-year-old woman and forensic evidence weren't consistent.
Police suspect the woman caused her own wounds after killing Murray. Police have charged the woman with murder.
Jayna Murray, 30, was raped and killed March 11 at the boutique.
The suspect told police that two masked men who burst into the Bethesda Avenue store after hours.
The murder took place along a dense commercial strip in downtown Bethesda, a circumstance that gave police some optimism that surveillance footage from nearby businesses might yield some leads in the case.
After examining such footage, however, police indicated that there was nothing helpful in the tapes.
The slaying and attack sent shockwaves through the Bethesda community. A more than $150,000 reward has been offered for information about the slaying and business groups, as well as the police, have planned a security meeting within the week to discuss the slaying.
Murray was well known and liked in the busy neighborhood of boutiques and restaurants. People continue to offer prayers and gifts in front of the still-closed store. Many ask hopefully is the case has been solved.
Alecia Pulman, spokesperson for Lululemon, declined to provide any information about Murray's co-worker, including her name. Pulman indicated that the company is awaiting further details from Montgomery County police.
County Council Member Roger Berliner says when "when police made the arrest, people started breathing again."
"It is a gruesome tragedy," he says.
