Suspect in Pittsburgh area slaying arrested at Detroit bus station

DETROIT --A Ghanian man charged with killing his wife was arrested at the Greyhound Bus station near downtown early this morning, said Pittsburgh-area police.

The man, identified as 34-year-old Jude Agbley was arrested around 1:30 a.m. at the bus station. He is accused of strangling his wife, 40-year-old Brenda Agbley, to death in the couple's Forest Hills home on Jan. 23, said Allegheny Police Supt. Charles Moffatt.
The woman's body was discovered after her 7-year-old son called police when his mother failed to pick him up from a school bus stop.
Moffatt said police took the boy home and eventually got inside, where they discovered his mother dead.
"She was lying on the sofa with a blanket up to her nose. There were marks on her neck," said Moffatt.
The couple was recently married. The child is with relatives, said Moffatt. Agbley is awaiting extradition to Pennsylvania, said Moffatt.
