Teenagers Arrested For Beating Homeless Men To Death

Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

Three New Mexico teenagers are in custody after they reportedly beat two homeless men to death and then went to one of the teen’s homes to hang out.  Alex Rios, 18, and two boys aged 16 and 15 are being held on $5 million bail.

A third homeless man who survived the beating and was able to crawl to a nearby home for help identified the boys.  He told police that one of the boys lived near the location of the attack.

Police found the boys hanging out at the home described by the victim.  One of the boys hadn’t even bothered to clean the blood from the victims off his clothing.

Investigators say the two dead men were beaten so badly they’re having trouble making any kind of identification.  An Arizona driver’s license was found at the site but there was no way to use it to make a facial comparison.

The criminal complaint says the 15-year-old was “very angry” over a breakup with a girlfriend so they went looking for someone to beat and rob.

“I personally, after reading that complaint, was sick to my stomach because of the nature of the violence and the age of the offenders,” police spokesman Simon Drobik said.
