The great-granddaughter of the heiress to the General Foods cereal fortune was found stabbed to death in her luxury spa on the South American island of Roatan, police in Honduras said.
Roatan Police Chief Alex Edgardo Madrid told reporters Friday that Nedenia Post Dye, 46, of Santa Monica, Calif., was found dead on Dec. 22, at her residence in the resort town with multiple stab wounds to the back.
Dye was the great-granddaughter of businesswoman Marjorie Merriweather Post, who inherited the Post Cereal Company empire in the 1910s at age 27. The company would later become the General Foods Corporation, one of the world’s largest food companies.
Dye had lived in Honduras for more than 15 years, police said, and was the owner of the luxury Spa Baan Suerte in Sandy Bay, Roatan.
Madrid said police arrested a local musician, Lenin Roberto Arana, and charged him with murder.
