A Florida man has been arrested and charged with murder after he allegedly bludgeoned a woman's head with a wine bottle then set her body on fire as he delivered a washer-dryer to her.

21-year-old Jorge Dupre Lachazo was charged with murder, aggravated battery on a person 65 or older and arson causing great bodily harm and is being held without bond in connection to the gruesome killing of a 75-year-old woman he fatally assaulted on Monday.

The delivery truck driver who was present at the time of the incident told police that his coworker went inside the house to install the machine as he stayed outside to make some phone calls. Upon hearing screams, he ran to the house where he "saw blood and the victim on the floor." The woman sustained serious burns and wounds and died on Tuesday.
