Teen arrested for his grandmother's murder

CONROE, TX Conroe police say they were called to a home on London Green in the Windsor Lakes subdivision around 10am Monday after a co-worker had found the victim unresponsive. Officers located the woman and observed signs of what appeared to be blunt force trauma. The woman was identified as 68-year-old Vera Martha Starkey.
