1 killed 1 arrested March 3, 2014 Teacher Murdered By Former Student at Greenville SC Hotel Explosion Berea Middle School special education teacher Laurie Patton, 38, was found dead after an explosion and fire at a hotel. Darrin Terrell Eskew, a former student and Patton, had gotten into a physical altercation, and he strangled her and set her and the motel room on fire. Eskew stole Patton’s vehicle, and was pulled over for driving 30 on the interstate in a 70 mph zone, where he fought with the deputy and had to be tasered and taken into custody.
Note: sounds like variation of Massachusetts student who murdered teacher after school, except this is off-campus with a former teacher, also fits pattern disgruntled client murdering someone who had helped them before.

Former student charged in murder of (white) Berea Middle School teacher
GREENVILLE, SC - Greenville County deputies have charged an Upstate special education teacher's former student with murder after she was found dead at a local hotel. Dispatchers said they received a call about an explosion at the Quality Inn and Suites motel on South Pleasantburg Drive near Mauldin Road at 5:28 a.m. Monday. Deputy Jennings Autry said a woman was found dead inside the room where the reported explosion occurred, but there were no other injuries reported. He said guests in the surrounding rooms were evacuated. Coroner Parks Evans said the woman had to be identified with dental records because of the severity of her burns. Evans identified her as 39-year-old Laurie Patton, of Travelers Rest. According to the Greenville County Schools spokesperson, Patton was a special education resources teacher at Berea Middle School since 2005. The school district said additional counselors are on hand to meet with staff and students in the wake of Patton's death. The man, identified as Darrin Eskew, was acting "erratic and unpredictable," according to McFaddin. She said when deputies tried to get him out of the car, he tried to hit a deputy in the face. A struggle ensued and deputies shocked Eskew with a stun gun, McFaddin said. She said deputies only received superficial injuries during the struggle. Deputy Drew Pinciaro said Eskew and the victim were acquaintances from her being his school teacher in the past. Eskew was arrested and charged with two counts of felony obstruction of an officer and miscellaneous traffic charges. On March 6, the Greenville County Sheriff's Office released warrants charging 21-year-old Eskew with murder, arson and grand larceny. According to the warrants, Eskew is accused of strangling Patton and setting her on fire. Pinciaro said Eskew and Patton got into a physical altercation where he strangled the victim and then set the motel room on fire. Pinciaro said Eskew then stole Patton's vehicle and fled the scene. He is also charged with the grand larceny of Patton's vehicle. - (Black-on-white)Teacher Murdered By Former Student at Greenville SC Hotel Explosion Ninjapundit Crime
