Virginia man may face death penalty in Muslim teen's death

A Virginia man accused of killing a 17-year-old Muslim girl as she walked back to her mosque is now facing a possible death penalty after he was indicted on capital murder and rape charges.

Darwin Martinez-Torres, 22, was indicted by a grand jury on Monday over the June slaying of Nabra Hassanen in Sterling, Virginia.

The teenager had been out with friends eating a meal ahead of pre-dawn Ramadan services and was returning to her mosque when she was bludgeoned with a baseball bat.

Police had said previously they were investigating whether Hassanen had been sexually assaulted, but Monday's indictment is the first time that prosecutors brought sex-crime charges of any kind against Martinez-Torres.

I work in DC live on the shore. The liberal media here reported Torres as "a Virginia man". He's not, he is an Illegal from El Salvador.

Do what you need to do to protect the public and punish the guilty.

The so called liberal, fake, and "failing" New York Times reported Torres as an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador back in June

Just another reason to support the President's travel ban.
