A Break In The Armanious Case – Two Charged With Murder

Hossam Armanious, a 47-year-old Coptic Christian; his wife, and their two daughters, ages 8 and 15, were found bound and gagged with puncture wounds to their throats on January 14.

Today, Edward McDonald, 25, who rented a second-floor apartment above Hossam Armanious and his family, and Hamilton Sanchez, 30 pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder. Both men were ordered held on $10 million bail.

"I didn't kill nobody. I didn't kill nobody, man. I didn't kill nobody, people," Sanchez said as he was led from the courtroom.

Bad Hair Blog was on this report early this morning and Little Green Footballs and their readers are all over this story.

There’s no point speculating about these horrendous murders – let’s just wait and see how this whole saga unfolds. Keep in mind that the men that used the ATM cards are not necessarily the killers. If the pair are guilty of stealing the money via the family’s ATM card and the murders, then justice can not come soon enough for these animals. The two should be poster boys for why New Jersey needs to reinstate the death penalty.

Should the pair be guilty of theft and not the murders, it’s still good news. McDonald and Sanchez will be talking like crazy about the source of the stolen ATM cards. Either way, it looks like this tragic case will be solved. A small amount of comfort to the Armanious’ family and friends. Your heart breaks when you think about what the slain family members went through before their deaths and the pain those surviving their loss must be going through today.
