A 19-year-old man has been arrested on murder and arson charges after he allegedly set fire to his bedroom and stabbed two people.
Kenneth Adams was arrested for second-degree murder, first-degree attempted murder and first-degree arson after Alaska State Troopers received a report early Monday morning that two people had been stabbed at a home on Pioneer Peak Drive in Wasilla and needed medical help, according to AST dispatch.
Mollie Ragonesi, 66, of Wasilla was found dead from apparent stab wounds, troopers said. A man was also found critically injured and hospitalized at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center via EMS. He is in stable condition, according to dispatch.
