LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A 20-year-old Campbellsville, Ky. man has been arrested and charged with the murder of his great-grandmother. 

Jessie James Durham was arrested after the body of 78-year-old Elizabeth Arimsmier was discovered Saturday morning by Campbellsville Police Department officers who were checking on her welfare.  Her son, Matt Wayne of Cincinnati had told police he had not heard from her and asked them to check on her.

An autopsy showed that Arimsmier had died from "blunt force trauma sustained days earlier."
