Police have booked a 28-year-old Anaheim man on suspicion of murder after a woman's body was found inside his pickup at a crash in downtown San Marcos, Anaheim police reported Sunday.
Abdulaziz Munther Alubidy was involved in a crash just after 4 p.m. Friday at the intersection of San Marcos Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road in San Marcos, said Anaheim police Sgt. Shane Carringer.

Alubidy was detained at the scene and detectives conducted an investigation that led them to the conclusion that the murder had been committed near West Corporate Way and North Muller Street in Anaheim, he said.
