Craigslist Killer Arrested
Police here arrested a 22-year-old medical student and charged him with killing one woman and attacking another who had advertised massage services on the popular Web site Craigslist.
From the New York Times:
Law enforcement officials identified the man as Philip Markoff of Quincy. He is a second-year student at the Boston University medical school, and is engaged to be married in August to a fellow student he met as an undergraduate at SUNY Albany, according to a Web site the couple created.
Mr. Markoff is charged with fatally shooting Julissa Brisman, 26, on April 14 in her room at the Boston Marriott Copley Place and with robbing another woman at gunpoint on April 10 in her room at the Westin Copley Place. Mr. Markoff’s arraignment in Boston Municipal Court, scheduled for Tuesday morning, was pushed back until noon to give Ms. Brisman’s relatives time to attend, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.
