buying a house during the sellers murder trial?

[Dillon Koch]

I own a rental Property across the street from a triplex, the triplex had a fire in one of the units and is now vacant. repairs were going on for awhile but suddenly stopped a couple of months ago. Seeing how the unit was falling into disrepair I started looking into it because I wanted to purchase the property and found out the current owner has been arrested for murder?!?! now it may be in bad taste but a good deal is a good deal. does anyone have any idea how to move forward with trying to buy this property? I really have no idea where to start on something like this.
