Prosecutors: Young woman who died in JC fire was allegedly murdered

According to the Associated Press, a man is charged with the death of his ex-girlfriend’s adult daughter.
“Authorities say a woman found dead in a fire at a Jersey City home was strangled, and her mother’s ex-boyfriend has been charged in the slaying.
“Romulo A. Gregoria Jr. was charged Wednesday with murder and arson in the death of 20-year-old Christine Mariano. Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio says it appears Gregoria killed Mariano following an argument about the older couple’s relationship.
Mariano recently moved back in with her mother after attending school in Miami where she studied to be a chef.”
