> Police apprehended the men at 70th and Cobbs Creek Parkway. They're suspects
> in the beating death of a 28-year-old man on the roof of a building near 49th
> and Locust Streets.
>
> The three suspects are described as modern day hobos. Anarchistic vagabonds
> who travel by train, jumping boxcars when it's time to go. But today the three
> of them apparently tried to make a getaway by train but they didn't get very
> far.
>
> The suspects jumped the train at 70th and Cobbs Creek, but the cops caught up
> with them and hauled them off in handcuffs. They're wanted for questioning in
> the beating death of another young man last night.
>
> The victim's body was found on the rooftop of an abandoned apartment building
> in West Philadelphia. Police sources say a group of squatters were drinking on
> the rooftop last night when a fight broke out. The victim was stomped to
> death.
>
> Police say the squatters are a part of an underground network of young people
> who reject the norms of society. They travel by train, form town to town,
> taking over vacant buildings. Neighbors say the group's been in the
> neighborhood for about three years.
>
> Marie Thompson tells Action News, "No sanitation, no running water. There's
> nowhere to take a bath. They've been here. The tenants and us have been
> complaining about them. They'll come once a year, they'll clean out the
> building and then (the squatters will) come right back and move in numbers.
> Each year the numbers are growing."
>
> Police say there are pockets of them throughout West Philadelphia. They raided
> one house of 48th Street and took seven squatters in for questioning.
>
> Police say the squatters are mostly well educated from upper-middle class
> families, who choose to reject society's values and live on the fringe.
> Tonight three of them are in custody being questioned and possibly facing
> murder charges ... now very much a part of the system they despise.
