Detroit Police just arrested 34-year-old Deangelo Martin near 7 Mile and Gratiot. He is suspected of being a serial rapist and serial murderer. The bodies of 3 women were discovered in vacant houses on Detroit’s east side, all had been raped and stabbed. Police suspect they were all prostitutes.
The Detroit Airport bribery trial is ongoing, with testimony of the threats, bribes, and kickbacks of over $10 million to James Warner, the former airport inspector.
