Two brothers who woke up to an intruder in their home took matters into their own hands Monday morning, beating the suspected burglar with a baseball bat and stabbing him to death, police said.
A 26-year-old man allegedly broke into a house around 2:45 a.m. Monday in the St. Albans neighborhood of Queens when he encountered the two brothers, ages 16 and 27, FOX5NY reported.
At least one of the men reportedly confronted the man, hit him with a baseball bat and stabbed him. It was unclear if one or both brothers were involved in the incident
Police arrived at the scene to find the alleged burglar, who was not immediately identified, with head trauma and stab wounds to his torso. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
No arrests have been made and police are investigating the incident.

The police should thank them.
There was something about "peanut butter and jelly" and a banana suit.
I love those feel-good news stories.

I guess the outcome wasn't "allegedly" because no charges were filed? Stupid reporting -- the dead perp isn't gonna sue. Thanks Simon Green.
Tough luck.
Hinky meter is going off with this one.
Maybe it’s because of the over kill. Also, it doesn’t say if the burglar was armed with something, that could explain the baseball bat and knife being used by the brothers.
I was thinking that neighborhood will be safe for awhile.
Or if the burglar was a relative...
I remember a similar incident several years ago, caught on tape, in which a burglar broke into a home, got caught. The owners then forced him to touch everything so as to leave fingerprints everywhere then they beat the You know what out of him.
The home owners were arrested.
Arrest? They need to give them the medal they should’ve given Bernie Goetz.
“Stupid reporting — the dead perp isn’t gonna sue.”
No but his family might.
When you have strict gun laws, you have to use the next thing.
Reminds me of this from Casablanca
Major Strasser : How about New York?
Rick: Well there are certain sections of New York, Major, that I wouldnt advise you to try to invade.
Something...or a “homie”
