PROVIDENCE − A 30-year-old Providence woman was charged with first-degree murder on Friday after the body of another woman was found floating in the Woonasquatucket River, according to Providence police.

Aja Lovett is accused of conspiring with another woman, 35-year-old Dusti Turner, in the killing of Katherine Gascoigne, according to a court record.

The 30-year-old's body was found in the river on Thursday across from 297 Promenade St., said Providence police Detective Maj. David Lapatin.

Investigators have determined that the victim did not die in the last several days, he said.

Lapatin declined to elaborate on the allegations against the two women and the nature of Gascoigne's death.

Turner has been held at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston, and her arraignment in District Court, Providence, is scheduled for Monday, Lapatin said.

Johnston police arrested Turner after she drove recklessly and failed to stop following a crash, according to the court record.

Second defendant imprisoned earlier this month in reckless driving case

Turner was charged in the reckless driving case on Feb. 7. She pleaded no contest during a proceeding that day before Judge Terence J. Houlihan, who sentenced her to a 30-day prison term, with 11 months suspended, and 11 months' probation, an online court record says.

Both defendants are charged with first-degree murder and felony conspiracy.

On Friday, Judge Stephen M. Isherwood ordered Lovett held without bail.
