Two Guilty of Beating Jeweler to Death
October 09, 25
(IDEX Online) - Two men have been found guilty of beating jeweler Hussein "Sam" Murray to death during an attempted robbery at his home in Michigan, USA.
They posed as workers for DTE Energy, a local electricity and gas company, produced bogus paperwork and claimed to be checking a gas leak last October.
Carlos Jose Hernandez, aged 38, and Joshua Zuazo, aged 40, both of Dearborn, Michigan, were convicted by a jury in Oakland County, Michigan, of one count of first-degree felony murder, and two counts of unlawful imprisonment.
Once they were inside the house, Murray, aged 72, owner of Gold & Glitter jewelry in Hamtramck, Michigan, led them down to the basement.
They beat him to death, then bound his wife Linda, also aged 72, beat her and demanded to know where the safe, money, and jewelry were.
They stole Linda's phone, her Apple Watch, some costume jewelry, and the keys to her SUV.
Both men are due to be sentenced on 9 December.
