Arrest Follows Murder of Woman, Grandmother
January 6, 2006 - A man was accused of stabbing a former girlfriend to death, beating her great-grandmother to death, and setting their row house on fire to cover the crime, police said.
Brandon Foster, 23, of West Philadelphia, was arrested Thursday night at his home, charged with two counts of murder, arson and other counts, and held without bail, officials said.
The bodies of Samantha Zenszer, 21, and Violet McCall, 79, were found Tuesday when firefighters responded to the fire at their home in the Holmesburg section. Foster had formerly dated Zenszer, officials said.
"We assume it was just a relationship ending, and he didn't want it to end," Lt. Jame
s M. Boyle said.
