A man who is charged with stabbing his girlfriend to death in a Central Avenue motel was indicted Thursday on a count of second-degree murder.Colonie Police began their investigation of Sunday’s incident when they found Mary J. Fyvie, 23, with two fatal stab wounds and Rupert Alberga, 29, with non-life-threatening knife wounds in room 243 of the Super 8 Motel.
An Albany County grand jury indicted Alberga on the murder charge following his arrest Monday by Colonie Police on the same charge, said District Attorney David Soares.
Fyvie’s relatives said the two had an on-and-off relationship and met at the motel over the weekend trying to work out a recent breakup.
Alberga, who is in the Albany County Jail without bail, will be arraigned next week.
Special Victims Unit Bureau Chief Shannon Sarfoh is handling the prosecution of this case.
