Brutal Stabbing in Burbank: Mother Killed, Daughter Fighting

0:00Burbank police just nabbed a suspect in a brutal double-stabbing that claimed a mother's life and left her daughter fighting for hers. It went down Monday morning around 6 a.m. on North Brighton Street, where 59-year-old Arty Varma and her 25-year-old daughter were. Both stabbed multiple times. First responders rushed them to the hospital, but Varma didn't make it while her daughter is still in serious condition. Investigators pieced it together quick with witness statements and camera footage, zeroing in on 30-year-old Sergio Fraire as the guy behind it. By 10 p.m. that same night, a SWAT team wrote up to East Palm Avenue and took Fraire into custody during a search. Cops say he knew the family, which makes this hit even closer to home for everyone involved. The motive is still a mystery under investigation, but Fraire's locked up on murder and attempted murder charges now heading to the Los Angeles County.
