GRANADA HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An 18-year-old resident of a group home for the mentally ill in Granada Hills was arrested for allegedly fatally stabbing another woman living there, police said.

A caretaker heard a disturbance, and found the suspect standing next to the victim with a knife, police say.

The 18-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released, is expected to appear in court Tuesday on murder charges.

Police have not yet offered a theory on a possible motive.
