PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY
Body Found in Bowie Basement
A man who had been shot to death was found yesterday in a new house in Bowie, and Prince George's County police said they believe he might have been a real estate agent.
The man was found about 1:30 p.m. in the basement of a house in the 12800 block of Ninth Street, police said.
They said the man had not been positively identified, and further details were not immediately available.

Guilty Plea in Case of Woman Set Ablaze
A Landover man has pleaded guilty to setting his girlfriend on fire last summer, Prince George's County State's Attorney Glenn F. Ivey said.
Anthony M. Willoughby, 41, pleaded guilty in Circuit Court Wednesday to first-degree assault, prosecutors said. Willoughby admitted that he set his girlfriend, Fredia Edwards, 39, on fire during the early morning of July 29.
Willoughby attacked Edwards after the two argued when he accused her of seeing someone else, prosecutors said. Willoughby splashed gasoline on Edwards's upper body and set her on fire with a long-handled lighter, prosecutors said.
Edwards extinguished the flames but was severely burned officials said. Sentencing was set for July 12.
