The suspects initially described by Brittany Norwood as the attackers in the Lululemon Athletica store slaying were just too malicious to be believable, a Montgomery County Police detective testified Monday in court about the first time he started doubting the defendant's story.

The Lululemon Athletica store in Bethesda, in which an employee was fatally beaten by a coworker this spring, will reopen June 24, the company has announced.

The co-worker of a 30-year-old woman brutally killed inside a Bethesda clothing boutique was charged Friday with the crime when police determined she lied about being sexually assaulted in the attack, which she told police was a botched robbery attempt.

Montgomery County police said Monday they have solid leads into the botched robbery attempt in Bethesda this past weekend in which two female store employees were sexually assaulted and one was killed, but residents of this upscale community remain shaken.
