The son of Anne Arundel County cybersecurity executive Juanita Koilpillai was arrested for her murder on Saturday, marking the latest turn in an incident that has rattled the regional tech community working at the intersection of startups and the federal government.
Koilpillai, 58, was found dead outside her home in the Chesapeake Bay-side community of Tracys Landing on July 25. Her boyfriend had reported her missing, and found blood outside the residence. Anne Arundel County police said she had “multiple sharp force wounds,” and later ruled the incident as a homicide. Her vehicle was missing from the residence.
In a news release issued over the weekend, police said they arrested her son Andrew Beavers in Leesburg, Virginia, and charged him with first and second-degree murder. Police found the car at the location in Leesburg, and said Beavers had a fresh laceration on his right hand that he could not explain. Beavers, 23, lived in the home with his mother. Police said the attack was “a targeted incident and not a random act of violence.”
