"8 charged in Orange slaying, kidnapping" - heraldsun.com

This is a very sad story no matter how you look at it.

The reason I have added it here is that it has a connection to the alleged rape of a woman in Southern Village in 2006, as explained in the story. I had not focused on the name of the accused at the time.

I feel like I have a small connection to the story as we have been customers at Minton's garage on Rte 54 for many years.

Let's hope that justice in this tragedy is meted out fairly.
