A third person has been arrested in the slaying of a 26-year-old woman whose handcuffed body was found last week dumped in Fairmount Park near the Mann Center, police said Friday.

Keith Bullock, 32, of Chester, is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, kidnapping, and unlawful restraint in the death of Toy Charda Bryant, also of Chester.

Bryant's body was found by passersby June 14 in the park along the 5300 block of Georges Hill Drive. She had been stabbed, shot, and handcuffed. Police said she was killed over an $800 debt.

Bullock was arrested Wednesday, police said.

Two women were previously arrested in the case.

Shavon Armstrong, 39, of Wilkes-Barre, is charged with murder, kidnapping, robbery, and related offenses. Police said Bryant owed the money to Armstrong, who is also known as Palliadium Smith and has previous addresses in Chester.

Shintele Smith, 28, of Southwest Philadelphia's Eastwick section, is charged with conspiracy, murder, kidnapping, and related offenses in Bryant's slaying.

Police have said the women were the "main two responsible" for the killing.

Bryant was abducted in Chester and tortured with a knife before being shot, police said.
