Woman, 23, arrested in connection with death of 69-year-old Brooksville man
BROOKSVILLE -- A 23-year-old Spring Hill woman has been arrested in connection with Wednesday's beating and choking death of a man 46 years her senior, police said.
Treva Lynn Anderson, 3582 Dow Lane, was booked into the Hernando County Jail on Thursday and held without bail, Brooksville police said. Her charges were not immediately available.
Police said their investigation, witness statements and autopsy results linked Anderson to the death of 69-year-old Robert Eane Rutherford. Police said Rutherford, known to friends as "Bunk," was hit several times on the head with an unidentified weapon and strangled in his apartment at 770 S Main St.
"He was just a good old boy from Tennessee," neighbor Tina Kimball told the St. Petersburg Times on Thursday. "Strangers weren't strangers to him, just friends who he hadn't met yet."
Rutherford's death marks the city's second homicide in nearly six years. Police have not disclosed a motive.
