Charlottesville police nabbed Gene Everett Washington Monday night after he allegedly bludgeoned 58-year-old Robin Aldridge and 17-year-old Mani Aldridge Friday night. He faces two counts of first-degree murder.

A Virginia man beat a schoolteacher and her teenage daughter to death inside their own home, police said.

Charlottesville police nabbed Gene Everett Washington Monday night following the Friday deaths of 58-year-old Robin Aldridge and 17-year-old Mani Aldridge, Charlottesville’s Newsplex reported.

The 30-year-old was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

It’s not clear if Washington knew the Aldridge family.

Crews responded to a fire at the Charlottesville home Friday night. They found intense flames burning on the first floor, and then they discovered the two badly beaten bodies, CBS 6 reported.

Both Robin and Mani Aldridge died from blunt force trauma, police said.

Police said Washington stole Robin Aldridge’s car after the beatings. The 2003 Toyota Matrix was recovered at a nearby apartment complex.

Robin Aldrige and her teenage daughter, Mani, were found dead inside their Virginia home Friday.

Firefighters found the bodies while responding to a fire at the home.

Police said Washington stole Robin Aldridge's car after the beatings. It was recovered at a nearby apartment complex.

Robin Aldridge taught special needs students at Hollymead Elementary School and worked in the school system for more the 20 years.

“She is the kindest nicest person you’ll ever meet,” said Diane Lariux, whose daughter was a student in Robin Aldridge’s class. “It is a huge loss for the community, a huge loss for the children especially.”

Mani Aldridge was a junior at Charlottesville High School.

“We will remember Mani for her kindness, friendliness, and care for others,” Principal Jill Dahl said in a statement. “We also admire her curiosity about the world, her creativity as shown in classes such as culinary arts and theater, and her perseverance in facing challenges.”

The New York Daily News is part of the mainstream news.

I have to admit the NY Daily News, although a liberal paper, almost always covers stories like this.

He was an aspiring rapper...

If I had a nickel for every time I have read this in an article...

Yup, the article mentions a relationship between the daughter and the perp and no mention of a father. Visited Charlottesville last year and had a confrontation with a few communist mushhead students. I was very disappointed that such a haven of left-wing collectivist idiocy would arise in the shadow of Monticello. Makes me wonder if this is a case of a frazzled single mom with an out-of-control teenaged daughter who was intrigued by ferals and the thug life. Bad decisions usually have bad consequences.

Maybe it is the whites that should be protesting in the streets against all the black crimes against whites.
