Two Charged in N.J. Family Slaying

March 04, 2005

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — The upstairs tenant of an Egyptian Christian family found slain in their home in January and another man have been charged in the killings, and authorities said Friday the motive was robbery, not religious fanaticism.

Two men already on parole for drug offenses pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder in the Jan. 11 killing of the Armanious family (search), which had caused tension between Christians and Muslims in New Jersey.

Edward McDonald, 25, who rented a second-floor apartment above the Armanious family, and Hamilton Sanchez, 30, were ordered held on $10 million bail.

The child victims had their Coptic crosses cut off their arms.
They were all bound and their throats were slit.

Robbery? or just an attempt to close the case and protect Islam again.

This sounds awfully convenient.

If there is something more, I'm hoping it's part of a much wider investigation of terrorism.

We'll have to wait for more details of the evidence the police have against them.

I don't recall reading about this. Were they bracelets, or do you mean a tattoo? And, when was this reported?

They just keep piling the B/S higher and higher.

It's comforting to know the authorities are protecting us from the truth, otherwise we would have reason for concern.

[Diogenesis]

Tatoo, in the Coptic fashion. It was reported at the time of the murders.

[Cagey]

Well, the only thing I could find was the following thread posted here referencing an article from the Jewish Review. Saying the cross was cut from her arm may be a stretch unless there is another report somewhere.

Jewish Review on FR

Sylvia was found with a huge gash in her chest where she had been repeatedly stabbed. She was also stabbed in the wrist where she had a tattoo of a Coptic cross. Although Monica's cross tattoo was not defaced, her wrists were also cut.

This stinks to high heaven.

the motive was robbery, not religious fanaticism.

Yea Uh huh Ok Sure whatever you say Mmm hmmm Yep

[Brilliant]

The authorities would never admit it if it were religious fanaticism.

www.jihadwatch.org and www.homelandsecurityus.com has more details on this.....

[Strategerist]

The ability of people to embarass themselves further just to avoid admitting they were wrong is amazing.

Given that the NEIN is operated by incompetent morons, I wouldn't take any of their claims on the case too seriously.

These are people that thought a helicopter-borne tree-cutter was a radiation sensor, mind you.
