Friend Turned Killer in Pool Murder | Huntsville News

A 70-year-old woman was found dead in a pool after being pushed into the water and beaten by her friend, Anastasia Sudarsana, who is now charged with murder. Prosecutors allege the killing stemmed from an argument over a missing phone, citing Sudarsana’s chilling lack of remorse during questioning. Her defense argues she had no intent to kill, emphasizing her traumatic past and refugee work, but a judge ruled there was enough evidence to send the case to a grand jury and ordered her held without bond. The victim died from head injuries and drowning, confirmed as homicide. Sudarsana also claimed self-defense and brandished knives at officers — yet prosecutors insist she remains a flight risk and a danger to society.
