Charlottesville double homicide suspect knew victim, police chief says

CHARLOTTESVILLE — A double homicide at a home was not a random act of violence, Charlottesville police said Tuesday.

On Monday night, Charlottesville police said Gene Everett Washington, 30, had been arrested. Washington is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Robin Aldridge, 58, and her daughter Mani Aldridge, 17.

Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy J. Longo said at a news conference Tuesday that Washington knew Mani but did not disclose any further information about their relationship.
