From The Memphis Commercial Appeal: The principal of a small private school in Memphis, Tenn., was found slain in a classroom, and a 17-year-old student has been charged with her murder. Memphis police say Suzette York, 49, was the principal at Memphis Junior Academy, a school affiliated with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The student, Eduardo Marmolejo, told police that since May he had been planning to kill York "because he did not like her and she made him angry."
