Charges for street killer

A HOMELESS man who used a metal rod to bludgeon four other homeless men to death in New York City was arrested holding the murder weapon covered with blood and hair, and admitted he was the person in a video of one of the attacks, prosecutors said.

Randy Santos was arraigned on charges of murder and attempted murder for the bloody rampage early on Saturday (local time) in Manhattan’s Chinatown.

He did not enter a plea and was remanded in custody.

A fifth homeless man injured in the attacks remained in critical condition yesterday.
