CASTLE HILL, the Bronx (WABC) -- Police have arrested and charged a man with murder Friday, after a 64-year-old employee was discovered dead in a private ambulette bus in the Bronx on Monday.
Sharief Bodden, 29, of the Bronx, was arrested and charged with murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the first degree, criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of a weapon, in connection to the death of Peter Forrest.
The victim was found at 201 Castle Hill Ave. just before just before 10:30 a.m. on Monday.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
