RIVERVIEW, Fla. (WFLA) — Two people have been charged with a violent murder that the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said happened in a Riverview home over the weekend.

The sheriff's office began its investigation when a witness came forward to report the crime.

That led authorities to discover a body in the Weedon Island Preserve near the Gandy Bridge.

Now, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested Arnaldo Cintron, 42, and charged him with fatally stabbing Hiojaira Velez Bonilla, 42, following an altercation.

The sheriff's office said Giselle Santiago Bonilla, 37, helped Cintron dispose of the body and other evidence.

On Tuesday, Cintron and Santiago Bonilla made their first appearance in front of a Hillsborough County judge to hear the charges against them.
