A second arrest has been made in the fatal stabbing of a woman last month inside a Bronx apartment.

The NYPD arrested Naida Jorge, 54, on July 22 in the fatal stabbing of Princesa Encarnacion-Soto inside 2295 Grand Concourse.

Encarnacion-Soto, 21, was rushed to BronxCare Health System, where she was pronounced dead.

At the time, police sources told News 12 that they were searching for the victim’s boyfriend. On Saturday, the NYPD announced the arrest of 27-year-old Robert Strother. He has been charged with murder, concealment of a human corpse, among other charges.

Family members say Encarnacion-Soto may have been in an abusive relationship.
