Jayant Kadian, 20 man was arrested Friday in Harrisonburg and charged with murder in connection with his mother's slaying Thursday afternoon. Jayant Kadian, 20, was located by U.S. Marshals in a James Madison University parking garage Friday and was interviewed by Fairfax County police.

Fairfax County police said Rajeshwar Singh Kadian, a doctor specializing in gastroenterology, came home shortly after 4:30 p.m. Thursday and found his wife, 52-year-old Kiran Kadian, dead. Investigators said she had been stabbed.

Police searched the Kadian home Thursday night and seized two knives, swabs of blood, handwritten notes and court papers. The search warrant stated investigators were looking for, among other things, any "suicidal writings [and] medical documents" for Jayant Kadian.

Fairfax police did not say what Kadian was doing at JMU, but he attended the university during the 2004-2005 school year, according to university records. He is not currently enrolled at the school.

Kadian was apparently also attending classes there in the spring of 2004 when he continued a court hearing on a charge of petty larceny due to midterms. He pleaded guilty in March 2004 to the misdemeanor charge of trying to steal four DVDs from a Reston Best Buy and paid a $250 fine.

Neighbors declined to speak about the family or else said they did not know them well. The Kadians bought their spacious home in 1992 but at some point lived in Kansas City where Jayant was born.

He is being held in the Rockingham County jail pending transfer to Fairfax County. Police have not released any motive in the slaying.
