Cops arrest Justin Waller in fatal stabbing of John Lea
BREAKING NEWS
Cops in Vermont say they've caught Justin Waller (pictured right), the suspected in a New York City murder case. The NYPD believes that Waller killed his roommate, John Lea (pictured left).
Waller was evidently down on his luck and living with Lea. As we reported on Saturday his body was found face down on his bed with multiple stab wounds and covered in laundry.
Police say they were able to find Waller partially by tracking the use of the victim's credit cards. Waller had charged “a few hundred dollars” to one of Johns’s credit cards to hire a car to drive him to Vermont, according Sgt. Michael Hall of the Manchester Police Department. Waller also evidently used the credit cards to buy food, including “eggs and bananas and things like that,” at a grocery in Manchester, Sergeant Hall said.
Investigators believe the two men got into a dispute over the living arrangement when Lea asked Waller to move out since he wasn't paying rent. Other reports have said that the two men were lovers.
Comments
I have it on good authority (friend of Mr. Lea's who visited him recently) that they were NOT lovers. John was just being the nice guy that he was and giving a hand to someone who had fallen on hard times. Waller abused John's hospitality and good nature. I most sincerely hope that this sociopath never sees the light of day through anything but a slit on a prison wall or enjoys a moment of freedom ever again.
