BOSTON (WHDH) – A Boston woman has been arrested on a murder charge in connection with a stabbing at a park in the South End last month that left a 65-year-old woman dead, police announced Friday.
Rasheedah Hughes, 40, of Boston, was arrested in the area of Hammond Street around 4:45 p.m. Friday on an outstanding warrant issued out of Roxbury District Court for the alleged murder of Celia Simmons, of Boston, according to Boston police.
