Five teenagers from Old Bridge, New Jersey, have been charged with beating to death an Asian man, Divyendu Sinha, in front of his wife and two sons in Old Bridge, New Jersey.
And that’s not all.
"The five, none of whom was identified because of their ages, may also face bias charges, the prosecutor said.
In addition to the charges arising from Sinha’s fatal beating, the five juveniles, all Old Bridge residents, were charged with aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault and criminal mischief after investigators learned they were involved in a separate, unrelated altercation with a motorist minutes before they attacked Sinha, Kaplan said."
Reports the Star-Ledger newspaper.
"The five teenagers engaged in a motor vehicle chase with another motorist less than five minutes before they attacked Sinha, 49, outside his Fela Drive home, the prosecutor said. In the first incident, the motorist, a white male, was able to flee from the attack, which occurred on Prests Mill Road in the township, Kaplan said. Several objects were thrown at the motorist’s car, which sustained some damage, he said."
This developing story will be monitored closely. Is this a hate crime? What is the race of the killers?
