 Ronald Browning, 68, of Beckley, about 55 miles (89 km) south of
the capital Charleston, died from blunt force trauma to his head and
neck, police said. He was a pastor at Cool Ridge Community Church.
Camille Brown, a 19-year-old student at West Virginia University, is
being held and charged with murder and breaking and entering after
she confessed to killing Browning, police said.
She remained in the Southern Regional Jail in Beaver, W. Va., on
Monday without bond, police said.
 "The most disturbing factor in this case is the fact Brown and
Browning did not know one another and her motive has yet to be
determined," Beckley police Detective Morgan Bragg told Reuters.
Brown was found Sunday, a day after the killing, at a nearby
residence, according to a criminal complaint. She was covered in
blood, urine and feces, it said.

There was evidence that Brown had been in Browning's home, and she
had cuts on her hands that she said happened during the killing,
Bragg said.
