The boy is charged with in the death of a woman in Sackville's Millwood subdivision.  The victim was found in her home on Hewer Crescent, early Friday afternoon.

The boy was arrested a short time later, after police say he stripped off his clothes and ran in the middle of traffic on Sackville Drive.
