D.A.: Murder Suspect Was Victim's Houseguest

BEND, OR -- We’re learning more about the murder of a man inside his own northeast Bend apartment. Firefighters found 53-year-old Glen Ely early Tuesday morning, when they went inside to battle a fire. At the same time, police were talking to 35-year-old Thomas Craig a few blocks away because neighbors had reported him acting suspiciously.

According to the Deschutes County District Attorney's Office, Craig was the victim’s houseguest at the time of the murder; although, the exact nature of their relationship is unclear. Craig was arrested based on forensic evidence found on him and Ely’s stab wounds.

He is charged with murder and arson, and is due back in court June 15.
