Aaron Hernandez, who has already being charged with the murder of Odin Lloyd, is now being charged with a double homicide which took place nearly two years ago. Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado were slain after leaving a nightclub in Boston in 2012. It is now believed that all three victims have the same killer, and the reason for Lloyd's murder was that he possibly had knowledge of the nightclub shooting.
Ironically, Hernandez may have helped police catch him (via Boston Globe):
"Hernandez is already jailed, charged with the fatal shooting of a Dorchester man, Odin Lloyd, a year after Abreu and Furtado were killed.
"It was Lloyd's shooting that helped Boston police detectives connect Hernandez to the killings of Furtado and Abreu, officials said.
"Investigators knew that Hernandez, 24, had been at Cure on July 16, 2012, but initially did not pursue him as a suspect because he had left about an hour before the victims. But when news broke about the Lloyd slaying, Boston detectives took a closer look at Hernandez's moves that night. They studied earlier surveillance camera footage at the club and on the streets."
District Attorney Daniel F. Conley made the case personal:
"For us, this case was not about Aaron Hernandez," Conley said. "This case was about two victims, who were stalked, ambushed, and senselessly murdered on the streets of the city they called home."
However Hernandez's attorneys responded with a statement of their own:
"Unlike the district attorney, we are not going to try this case in the media," the statement said. "Under our system of justice, Aaron Hernandez is innocent of these charges, and he looks forward to his day in court."
What do you think? Is Hernandez guilty? Did he kill someone else to keep them quiet? What might have been Hernandez's original motive for killing two strangers?
