Teens arrested in death of 64-year-old Gwinnett woman

Two teenagers have been arrested in the death of a 64-year-old Lawrenceville woman.

Gwinnett County Police Corporal Jake Smith tells WSB they believe robbery was the motive behind the murder of Parviz Moledina at her home on Alamein Drive.

"We believe the motive of the crime was simply theft.  They either wanted to rob Ms. Moledina or just burglarize her home.  We don't know at this point whether or not they were aware that Moledina was actually in the home when they committed the crime," said Smith.

Police don't know if the two knew the victim but the suspects, 19-year-old Eric Bolling and 18-year-old Justin Eldridge were her neighbors.

"Bolling's residence where Eldridge also lived is on the same street.  And to get to that home on Alamein Drive they would pass the victim's residence.  Every single time they entered or exited that neighborhood, they would have to drive past the victim's residence," said Smith.

Bolling has been charged with her murder.  Eldridge has been charged with theft by receiving.  Smith says they don't believe that Eldridge ever entered the victim's home.  They believe Bolling stabbed the Moledina to death.

"It's more than 20.  This turned into a very brutal and very heinous crime even though it may have started as something as simple as a burglary. It turned extremely violent," said Smith.

After the attack, Smith says the two took her car and went shopping. 

"Essentially, we found these suspect through the victim's stolen vehicle.  In the wake of the homicide, the suspects took her vehicle and used it to drive around town.  They went shopping in various stores," said Smith.
