Homeless man torched as he slept outside NYC church dies of injuries
ASSOCIATED PRESS 11:17 a.m. October 14, 2007 NEW YORK A homeless man torched outside a church where he had bedded down for the night has died from his injuries, police said Saturday. Felix Najera suffered burns to 40 percent of his body after being set on fire while sleeping in front of Bethany Christian Church in East Harlem, police said. He died Oct. 9. Torres, 29, of the Bronx, was charged with attempted murder and assault in the Oct. 5 attack, police said. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Oct. 8 and was held without bail. Charges against Torres have not been upgraded since Najera's death, police said. Police had called the torching of the 49-year-old one of the most severe and senseless attacks on a homeless victim in recent memory. Residents said the victim was a heavy drinker who would bum cigarettes from passers-by, but otherwise was a harmless fixture on the upper Manhattan block. Najera was burned while sleeping in a cardboard box around midnight. http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/nation/20071014-1117- homelessattack.html Post message: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe : [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/ Yahoo!
