A man was arrested in Alabama just hours after police found his wife’s body in a Gwinnett County apartment.
Saul Maisonet, 34, was arrested in a Birmingham suburb Saturday after Gwinnett County police relayed information that he might be headed there, according to al.com.
About 2 a.m. Saturday, officers found the body of Tanya Maisonet, 46, in the 6800 block of Springs Lane in Peachtree Corners.
Her body had injuries consistent with a stabbing, but the official cause of death is under investigation, police said Saturday in a statement.
Saul is charged with felony murder and aggravated assault, Gwinnett police spokesman Benjamin Finney said. The suspect is still in custody in Alabama.
