DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Authorities have charged a suspect in the slaying of the University of North Carolina student president with the January killing of a Duke University graduate student.
A warrant filed Thursday charges 17-year-old Lawrence Alvin Lovette Jr. with first-degree murder in the death of Abhijit Mahato.
The 29-year-old computational mechanics doctoral student was found shot to death inside his apartment in January.
Authorities have charged both Lovette and Demario James Atwater with first-degree murder in the death of Eve Carson. The 22-year-old was found last week lying on a street about a mile from campus.
bttt
These guys seldom do it just once.
Another success story of the entitlement society. Take bets he is from a broken family that was on welfare, but he made straight A’s and had so much potential.
capital punishment an option in NC?
OK, so maybe it was murder, but at least it wasn’t a hate crime.
We must not allow these youthful indiscretions to destroy a promising young life!
He's such a good boy!
</sarcasm>
17 years-old and has murdered two people within 2 months...while on probation for assorted other crimes.
I would imagine he is an aspiring rapper as well
Local thugs seem to try and target university students around here too, thinking they have money. I am a living testament that, just because you are in college, doesn’t mean you are wealthy. I hope they bury him under the jail. How dare he take someone else’s child away from them, especially for money.
That seems to be a common mentality. A related mentality is that if you dress in business attire, you have money as well.
This vile POS took everything his two victims were and everything that they’d ever be from them. If he gets anything but the death penalty it will be a gross miscarriage of justice, but hey he’s black and poor, so that makes it OK (or at least it will with a black jury I smell an OJ in the making)
Of all the campus massacres in the last decade and now possibly students of higher learning being murdered one by one would the thought of Demonic taunting of those with weak links in their mind/body/spirit was or is an influence in these tragedies.
Humans with a dim outlook on their own future/life taking the lives of those thriving with working towards a bright future.
Intersting how the media chooses to cover stories. I’d never heard of Abhijit Mahato. Guess he wasn’t pretty enough to make the cable news.
Then don’t read it....
Oh, I’ll be here to read it AND comment on it, too.
I wonder if not so much money but pre paid debit cards making ya’ll targets to those unfit human turds.
I just saw footage of the perp being taken by LEO into jail...they were for sure not walking him in with compassionate handling HAH they were yanking his sorry butt into that building.
Justice will be served however that cannot replace the loss to the Mother/Father and loved ones.
