An exterminator admitted to strangling a young Philadelphia doctor found bound and burned in her city row home, police said.
Homicide unit Capt. James Clark said 36-year-old Jason Smith was arrested Wednesday night at his home in Levittown, about 25 miles northeast of the city. He's charged in the killing 35-year-old Dr. Melissa Ketunuti.
Police said Smith had an appointment at Ketunuti's home on the day she was killed. They said he strangled her with a rope after the two got in an argument. She was not sexually assaulted.
