Investigators said Desjavae Conway, 34, of Dayton, Ohio, set the building on fire, broke into the home, and for unknown reasons, stabbed the two women multiple times with a pair of scissors.
The TCSO said Conway stole the victims’ car and drove away. She was found a short time later and arrested.
Investigators say at this time, it doesn’t appear that Conway knew the victims nor what her motive was. The victims’ current conditions have not been released.
Conway is charged with home invasion, arson, armed robbery, and two counts of aggravated assault. She’s being held at the Troup County Jail without bond.
The investigation is active and ongoing.
