Boston police probe homicide in Brighton

By Globe Staff

Boston Police are investigating a homicide in the Brighton neighborhood.

The body of a woman in her 50s was found today at about 2:30 p.m. with multiple stab wounds.

A man who is apparently in his 40s and is blind has been arrested and will be charged with the murder, said police spokeswoman Elaine Driscoll.

Driscoll said the man, who was not immediately identified because he is still being booked, lived at the Nonantum Street residence where the body was found. The victim, however, did not live there, she said.

"It is still unclear what their relationship is," Driscoll said.
