This was a friend of mine, but a GOOD friend of my husbands. Just got the news of it, although it happened wednesday the 7th.
A Wayne County prosecutor said two teens accused in the "bone-chilling" killing and beheading of a sex offender had carefully planned the attack for no other reason than the thrill of it.Canton High School student Jean Pierre Orlewicz, 17, of Plymouth Township, and Alexander James Letkemann, 18, of Westland, were being held without bond at the Wayne County Jail on charges of two counts of murder and one count of mutilation of a corpse in the killing of Daniel Sorensen, WDIV-TV in Detroit reported.A court date was set for Nov. 19.
Prosecutor Kym Worthy said at a news conference Monday that neither money nor drugs appeared to be the motive when Orlewicz allegedly lured Sorensen to his grandfather's home on Nov. 7 "for the purpose of killing him."Orlewicz is accused of attacking Sorensen from behind, cutting his throat with a kitchen knife. Sorensen was killed by "multiple stab wounds to the back."Orlewicz also is accused of beheading Sorensen's body with a hacksaw and burning it with a blowtorch in an attempt to conceal his fingerprints.The body was wrapped in a tarp that had been laid out in the garage ahead of time, authorities said. The head was found in a Rubbermaid container.According to testimony at the arraignment, Orlewicz had trouble lifting the body into his pickup truck, so he asked Letkemann to come over and help him.The body was taken to Northville Township and Sorensen's head was dumped into the Rouge River near the Detroit/Dearborn border.Worthy said her office is looking at other "persons of interest" in the case.She also praised the law enforcement officials from various communities for pooling their resources to make the arrests in the case."Even though we have seen it all, or think we've seen it all, still a crime like this surprises us all," Worthy said during the news conference Monday. "It makes us think and ask a lot of questions about our society." - Source (http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/14573724/detail.html).
Jay's pretty shaken up, but I think he'll be okay. I hope so. Never seen him like this before :-/
