SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK - A 23-year-old man was arrested Monday in Georgia on charges he killed a man whose body was found buried in the basement of a home, police said. <br>
<br>
Investigators took Dupreme Washington of Schenectady into custody in Lilburn, Ga. He will be arraigned for extradition and charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of Mark Abdul Franklin, Jr., 21, of Inglewood, Calif. <br>
<br>
Police determined that both men both stayed at the house at some point. <br>
<br>
Officers were called Thursday afternoon after neighbors complained of a foul odor at the residence, 10 miles northwest of Albany. They found a decomposed corpse partially buried in the basement. The body was there for nearly a month. <br>
<br>
While police have no motive yet for the killing, they have ruled out drug or gang involvement.
