A man was stabbed and killed inside his apartment in April, and the suspects cut off his thumb in order to steal money off his cellphone, according to D.C. court documents.

Two women have been arrested and charged this month in the killing of Fasil Teklemariam, 53, who was found dead inside his apartment on Peabody Street in Northwest on April 5.

Tiffany Taylor Gray, 22, and Audrey Denise Miller, 19, are both being charged with first-degree murder while armed, according to D.C. police.
