A 15-year-old Fullerton boy has been charged in the death Monday of a Diamond Bar woman who was the co-owner of a Fullerton motel where he lived, police said today.
The boy--whose name was not released because he is a juvenile--was charged with the murder, rape, robbery and burglary of Provina Dholakia, 40, whose body was found by a janitor in a suite next to the lobby of the Willow Tree Motel at 1015 Harbor Blvd., said Fullerton Police Lt. Ron Rowell.
Rowell said that investigators have been unable to determine how the woman died and that an autopsy is scheduled to be performed today. The boy is being held at Orange County Juvenile Hall.
