The Blotter

Woman indicted in Lululemon case The woman suspected of killing her co-worker in a brutal struggle at the upscale Bethesda yoga store where they worked has been indicted in the slaying.

A grand jury indicted Brittany Norwood on a murder charge, said Seth Zucker, spokesman for the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors say Norwood, 28, killed Lululemon Athletica co-worker Jayna Murray, 30, at the store on March 11, crushing Murray’s skull and severing her spinal cord. According to prosecutors, Norwood pretended that she was also a victim when police found the pair in the store the next morning. Norwood was bound and told authorities that she had been sexually assaulted.

No court dates have been scheduled, Zucker said.
