Castor Gardens Home Invasion, Kaboni Savage Trial, Olympic Gymnasts Visit CHOP

The husband of an elderly woman killed in Northeast Philadelphia early Monday morning has allegedly confessed and is being held in custody as a possible suspect in his wife's murder. Philadelphia Police responded to a reported home invasion at about 2:20 a.m. inside an apartment in the 6700 block of Castor Avenue in the city's Castor Gardens section. Investigators initially believed the intruder broke into the apartment through a second floor rear bedroom window and brutally attacked a 74-year-old woman and her husband, also 74-years-old. The incident remains under police investigation.

The jury hearing the three-month long federal murder trial of a Philadelphia drug kingpin has begun deliberations. Federal prosecutors opened their case against 38-year old Kaboni Savage back in February, letting jurors know from the start that they were seeking the death penalty. They claim Savage was ‘ruthless’ in punishing rivals – all told he’s linked to 12-killings – five of them drug dealers – but they also contend he targeted innocent family and friends of a witness. If convicted, Savage and two others face the potential of the death penalty, and his sister faces life in prison.

On Friday, the Pro Gymnastic Challenge takes place at Lehigh University. On Monday afternoon, some of those elite athletes visited Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Four past, present and future Olympians visited patients at CHOP via Galaxy 51, the in-house TV station. One of the gymnasts, Brandon Wynn of Cherry Hill is an All-American and 2016 Olympic hopeful.
