ARREST MADE AFTER DEATH OF BURRUSS’ FIANCE
A man has been arrested in connection with the death of R&B singer/songwriter KANDI BURRUSS’ fiance, who was killed in a bar brawl on Friday (02Oct09).
Fredrick Richardson has been charged with voluntary manslaughter after Ashley Jewell died of massive head injuries received in the altercation in the parking lot of The Body Tap Club in Atlanta, Georgia.
The suspect was hospitalised with injuries suffered during the fight but will be seized by cops once released from doctors’ care.
Authorities are interviewing witnesses and "trying to figure out" what happened, according to Atlanta police spokesman Officer James Polite.
And Burruss, a former member of the group Xscape, is devastated as she is also mourning the death of an uncle, whose funeral she attended on Saturday (03Sep09).
The singer updated her Twitter.com page to ask for privacy as she grieves, writing, "I’m just in one of those moods where I dont wanna talk, I dont wanna be held & told it’s gonna b ok. I just wanna cry myself 2 sleep, alone… I could never in a million years imagine this happening. Please pray for AJ’s children. That’s who I’m the most concerned 4." Burruss recently appeared alongside Jewell on U.S. reality TV show The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
