Twenty-year-old Amahal Lynch was arrested yesterday and charged with the Sunday morning murder of a Nostrand Houses resident and her 8-year-old daughter. According to a [New York Times report](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/18/nyregion/18arrest.html?ref=bklyner.com), Lynch is an acquaintance of the victim, Shakeema Elliot, and an employee of the New York City Housing Authority. It’s unclear if he worked in the Sheepshead / Nostrand Houses, but offers found reason to believe the East New York resident is involved in the death by strangulation. When the [story was first reported](/mother-daughter-found-dead-in-nostrand-houses/), police said they found the victims in the bathtub surrounded by pills, after being called for a possibly burglary. Police authorities are now saying the bodies may have been moved from another area in the apartment to the tub, and the bathroom made to look like a suicide scene.
