New York police say there's been an arrest in the killing of a punk rock pioneer turned multimillionaire real estate agent to the stars.

Police arrested Linda Stein's personal assistant after she confessed to beating Stein with a yoga stick when a barrage of insults threw her into a homicidal rage. Natavia Lowery is charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bail.

Stein, a former co-manager of the Ramones, was found face down in blood inside her 3-million dollar Fifth Avenue apartment.

Police say the suspect was captured on a surveillance tape leaving the building shortly after the October 30th attack.
