KFOR ^ | AUGUST 27, 2016 | NIKKI FERLAINO

A man has been arrested in the stabbing deaths of two nuns whose bodies were found in their home in rural Mississippi, authorities said.

Margaret Held and Paula Merrill, both nurse practitioners, failed to show up for work Thursday at a clinic in Lexington, where they served one of the state’s poorest counties.

Authorities believe the killer took the victims’ car, a blue Toyota Corolla, which was later found on an abandoned road less than a mile from their home. But nothing was taken from the house, according to a law enforcement official who has been briefed on the investigation.

My great aunt Sister Mary Margarite was a nun, but we called her “Sister.” So what was she? She wore a habit...

Of course. He knew the nuns were probably cleaner than a whistle. Needed their bodies as cadavers.

If blacks don’t want to be stereotyped, then perhaps they should stop murdering people.

And the nuns who taught us in Catholic school were addressed as “Sister.”

Article doesn’t speak to religion, but jihadi seems unlikely based on his name. The killer is a multi-conviction felon released in December 2015. Served long terms in the 80s and 90’s for armed robbery.

The public needs to insist that career criminals stay in jail so they don’t have the opportunity to murder good people. Because eventually they will.

Off topic, but could I buy a vowel for your screen name? LOL!

I went to Catholic school from Kindergarten through and including senior year. One time we moved, and I went to a public school for about two weeks. When a teacher addressed me, I stood up. The class actually laughed at me.

Those aren’t nuns, they are sisters.

Nuns wear habits and take vow of chastity, poverty and obedience.

This may be the most ignorant comment EVER that I have seen on FR. I won’t even waste my time with HTML

Mother Angelica to you. She would have hit your hand with a ruler for that one. A little knowledge...

He will be soon. Watch for his new name to have muhammad, el, or bey in it.

He will be welcomed in the joint.

You should have at least put quote marks around that very ignorant paragraph.

“...released in December 2015...”

Eight months later he murders two elderly women, probably just to steal their crappy car.

Great, just great.

Now he will live out his days behind bars. He could have just stuck up a bank if that’s what he wanted, he didn’t have to kill two old women.

Pig, I hope someone breaks his neck for him and saves the taxpayers the cost of a trial.

Hope that Dindu Nuffin’s truculent glare gets wiped off his face real fast.

A few accidental falls down steep stairs should work. Or a red hot poker up his @zz. Imagine all 32 of his ivories bared in pain.

Well, that pretty much passed right over my head...but I know one thing...stupid is not what is going to kill me.

Whatever it is...and it will probably be the cancer...will be in the good Lord’s Hand, and I am fine with His Wisdom regarding the same.
