Amie Harwick’s Ex-Boyfriend Charged With Murder, First-Degree Burglary

Amie Harwick’s former boyfriend has been re-arrested and charged with murder, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office announced on Wednesday.

Gareth Pursehouse faces one count each of murder and first-degree residential burglary with the special circumstance allegation of lying in wait for allegedly killing Harwick by throwing her over a third-floor balcony over the weekend.

If convicted on the two charges, Pursehouse faces the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole. The district attorney’s office said a decision on whether to seek capital punishment will be made at a later date. His arraignment is scheduled for Thursday.

Harwick was found sometime after 1:16 a.m. Saturday morning when police responded to a radio call about a woman screaming in the Hollywood Hills area. She was found unresponsive and “gravely injured” beneath a third-floor balcony and later died, police said.

According to investigators, the 38-year-old had recently “expressed fear” about a former boyfriend and previously filed a restraining order against him. The restraining order expired prior to her death.

Pursehouse was initially taken into custody after the incident and posted $2 million bond. He was re-arrested Wednesday on a no bail warrant.
