Anchorage police arrest suspect in stabbing death of woman
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) – A 27-year-old man spotted dragging a wrapped body to his sport utility vehicle has been arrested and held on suspicion of first-degree murder and evidence tampering.
Anchorage police responding to 911 calls arrested Simon Weyiouanna on Wednesday night in a residential area of west Anchorage.
