Georgia: Man charged in teacher’s death

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. – Police say a 35-year-old Snellville man is being held at the Henry County jail on a murder charge in the death of his girlfriend, a second-grade teacher.

Henry County Police Capt. Jason Bolton says 34-year-old Kinaya Schenese Byrd was stabbed Friday during a quarrel at her home in Stockbridge.

Bolton says 35-year-old Dana McFarlane was driving in Rockdale County when he flagged down a sheriff’s lieutenant and turned himself in.

Byrd taught at River’s Edge Elementary School in Clayton County.
