The woman accused of killing her co-worker at an upscale Bethesda yoga store faces an initial court hearing Monday, as local businesses expressed relief that an arrest has been made in the puzzling case. Brittany E. Norwood, 27, was arrested Friday in the March 11 attack at Lululemon Athletica, located at 4856 Bethesda Ave. Montgomery County police said 30-year-old Jayna Murray was stabbed and beaten to death after the two had an argument.

Norwood then concocted a story, police said, that the two had been attacked and sexually assaulted by two masked men.
