A suspected murderer and kidnapper will be brought back to Henderson County as early as Monday for arraignment.

Jackie Martez Guthrie, 22, was arrested Friday evening in Galveston for the shooting death of Chantel Barret, 18, and the subsequent kidnapping of his pregnant girlfriend, Tiffany Hurd. He is being held without bail in the Galveston County Jail, awaiting extradition to Henderson County.
