VIA KFSN: The Fresno County District Attorney’s Office has filed charges against Winston Max Russell for the stabbing death of his mother Bethlyn Webster.
Webster, 52, was found dead after a house fire in Central Fresno on Memorial Day. The adjunct English professor taught at Fresno State and Fresno City College years ago, but neighbors say in recent years, she mainly stayed home and wrote.
Russell has been charged with one count of Murder, as well as an allegation that a knife was used in the commission of the crime.
If convicted Russell could face up to life in prison.
Russell is currently in custody at the Fresno County Jail and his arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.
