Police in North Carolina say they’ve arrested a suspect in the death of a pregnant soldier whose body was found in a motel bathtub.
Fayetteville police said Tuesday that 27-year-old Edgar Patino has been charged with first degree murder in the death of Army Spc. Megan L. Touma.
Patino was arrested shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday in the nearby town of Hope Mills. No other details have been released. Police scheduled a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
The 23-year-old Touma was found dead June 21 after a motel maintenance supervisor noticed a foul odor coming from a room with a “do not disturb” sign on the door. The dental specialist from Cold Spring, Ky., was seven months pregnant.
