WHEELING,Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The man charged with the murder of a Wheeling mother who’s toddler daughter was later found dead has waived extradition and will be brought back to stand trial.
Ahmeel Fowler, 26 became a suspect early in the investigation after the body of 21- year-old Ja'nya Murphy was found in her apartment on Nov. 9. He is charged with first-degree murder.
They had a relationship and were last seen alive together. She was strangled. Her 17-month-old Jacqueline Angel Dobbs was later found dead in a retention pond in Northwest Indiana.
