TRIO ACCUSED OF TWO MURDERS SENT TO CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO Three transients accused of using a stolen gun to rob and kill a Canadian backpacker and a yoga instructor two days apart were sent back Monday to northern California from Oregon, where they were arrested.

Authorities say Sean Michael Angold, 24, Morrison Haze Lampley, 23, and Lila Scott Alligood, 18, killed back- packer Audrey Carey, 23, in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on Oct. 3.

They also are accused of gunning down tantra yoga teacher Steve Carter, 67, whose body was found Oct. 5 on a popular hiking trail in Marin County, 32 kilometres north of the city. The three suspects were arrested last week at a soup kitchen in Portland, Ore.
