Kill My Landlord

"SPARKS, NV — Two dead bodies found Sunday were the result of a man killing his landlord and then killing himself, the Sparks Police Department reported.

"Police identified the suspect as Charles Edward Rodriguez, 45. Police said Rodriguez rented a room from a woman at the home at 860 Glen Molly Drive. They were called to the home Sunday to check on her welfare and found them both dead.

"An autopsy showed the woman suffered from blunt force trauma to her head and was strangled to death, police said. She was found in her bedroom and police said it was clear there was a struggle. They are not releasing her name until her identity has been confirmed through dental records. Police believe Rodriguez killed himself in his bedroom by hanging himself.

"Police are trying to determine a motive for homicide but believe it could be financially related. Rodriguez was unemployed and owed her money, police said."
