HERNDON, Va. -- A 17-year-old has been arrested in connection with the death of his girlfriend, Fairfax County police said.
Police charged the teenager with homicide Sunday after his 19-year-old girlfriend, Siobhan Russell, was found in the Herndon area with a fatal stab wound to her upper body.
The two were arguing in the boyfriend's home in the 12700 block of Magna Carta Road when the stabbing occurred, police said.
Police were contacted at about 4:30 p.m. by the young man's father, who was in the house at the time, Officer Ray Roberts said.
Roberts said the boyfriend is being charged as a juvenile, but he is expected to be charged as an adult.
It was the county's third homicide this year.
