HARTFORD — A city man beheaded his landlord with a samurai sword and is now facing a murder charge, police said.
Jerry David Thompson, 42, was arrested Monday — a day after police found his landlord, Victor King, decapitated in his home on Asylum Avenue, police said.
Thompson had been renting a room from King.
Police said the killing stemmed from an argument when Thompson allegedly threatened King with the sword. King reported the incident to police on Saturday.

Not the way to avoid paying the rent. However, the killer will now be living rent-free courtesy of the state.

Hey, liberals. Stuff like this is why some of us carry. Just in case you still can't figure it out.

“will now be living rent-free courtesy of the state.”
Oh he will probably be paying alright. How and how much would depend on his cellmate’s and his buddies’ preferences.

Be mindful of who you rent to.
NO background check? Big mistake

Too bad the landlord didn’t take him out first.
Society would have been a lot better off.

Here in the Peoples Republic of Seattle landlords are not allowed to refuse to rent to convicted felons, and must rent to the first qualified applicant.

Well we don’t know what the landlord was like :-)
Though I doubt he could have been worse.
