PORT ARTHUR, Texas-3 elderly woman have been savagely beaten to death in their homes here in the space of four days last week.
The first victim, 82 year old Dorothy Barret was found Monday in her home. On Thursday, 60 year old Brenda Choate was attacked in her home by a man she said kicked her in the chest and tried to strangle her. Choate fought him off using karate moves she learned years earlier and called for help.
Later that day, Margie Gafford's body was found after a repairman--concerned that she didn't answer the door---called police.
And on Thursday evening, police discovered the body of Louise Tamplin, 81. Her brother-in-law had called police when he entered her unlocked home and found a trail of blood in her living room.
40 year old Gary Sinegal, who was released from prison in November after serving 21 years of a 60 year sentence for aggravated robbery, is being held on charges stemming from the Choate attack.
Choate identified Sinegal as her a*sailant but Sinegal denies involvement in the murders. Allegedly, Sinegal stomped on Margie Gafford's chest until she died.
