Fresno police announced Wednesday during a press conference the arrest of Aaron Jamal Dudley, 41, for his alleged involvement in the death of his sister, 26-year-old N-Kya Rebecca Logan. Police say Logan had been stabbed to death and then intentionally set on fire.
Several pieces of evidence led police to arrest Dudley, including a crime scene at the home and multiple witnesses who saw the fire.
