NEW JERSEY KILLINGS UPDATE:

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — The upstairs neighbor of an Egyptian Christian family found slain in their home in January was charged along with another man Friday in the killings, and authorities said the motive was robbery, not religious fanaticism, as some had feared.

Edward McDonald, 25, who rented a second-floor apartment above Hossam Armanious and his family, pleaded not guilty to four counts of murder, as did Hamilton Sanchez, 30. Both men were ordered held on $10 million bail.

“I didn’t kill nobody, man,” Sanchez said as he was led from the courtroom.

This is actually a relief, in a way, assuming that Sanchez & McDonald turn out to be guilty.
