The man accused of raping and beating two women in the Venice Canals has been charged with murder after one of the victims was taken off life support.
The man accused of raping and beating two women in brutal attacks in the Venice Canals in April now faces a murder charge after one of the victims died from her injuries, officials said. “Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to the victim’s family and friends during this unimaginably tragic time,” Los Angeles Dist. Atty. George Gascón said in a news release announcing the murder charge Tuesday. “We are committed to seeking justice for both victims of these heinous crimes.
'The additional murder charge carries a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, in addition to the life sentences for the crimes previously alleged,” Gascón said in the release. The survivor described her ordeal to The Times from her hospital bed in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
