Suspect Arrested Following Fire

Richland Co. S.C. (WOLO)–  Richland County deputies arrested 38 year old Kenneth Gleaton in connection with the death of a woman whose body was found in a fire early Tuesday morning.

Investigators say Gleaton was arrested Tuesday afternoon on the Riverwalk behind Edventure Children’s Museum.

Deputies responded to a home on Crestmore Dr. just after 1:30 Tuesday morning after Columbia Firefighters discovered the body of 39 year old Amanda Peele.

Richland County Coroner Gary Watts says Peele died of “homicidal violence.”
