fatal beating

The alleged rapist was arrested days earlier for breaking into homes in the Rockaways.

Apparently the intruder had ripped the wife's clothes off.

"My brother was complaining he couldn't breathe."

One of the teens died.

A neighbor says she heard the mother and stepfather arguing.

The girl's five-year-old brother may have tried to intervene.

Apparently the brothers were seeking revenge for their father.

“It’s a very tragic incident,” said defense attorney Lloyd Epstein. “Everyone knows that Henry is an epileptic and that sometimes with medications unexpected things happen.”

The teen son of the LaGuardia High School teacher who was brutally beaten to death yesterday has been charged in her murder: "It's been a very volatile relationship since he was a young, young boy."

The victim apparently called 911 to say her son was having a seizure and beating her.
