Woodbridge, VIRGINIA, Oxon Hill, MARYLAND: Local Arrests in Newark Slayings

Washington Post

A key suspect in the brutal killings of three college students in Newark was arrested early yesterday in Oxon Hill, where authorities found the 24-year-old Nicaraguan man among a group drinking beer and getting tattooed in a filthy apartment furnished with little more than mattresses on the floor.

Twenty minutes later, police arrested his 16-year-old half brother in the basement of a Woodbridge townhouse as the intense manhunt in the execution-style killings moved to the Washington immigrant community, authorities said.

Authorities said the suspects -- Rodolfo Godinez and the teenager, who is not being identified because he is to be charged as a juvenile -- were arrested on fugitive warrants for their involvement in the grisly Aug. 4 killings.
