Bright lights, big city...

...Hogtown swallows up another life...
Five teenage boys face murder charges in the week-old beating death of a 20-year-old man in east Toronto. Jin Tao Zhu was found dead inside a home at 1234 Gerrard St. E., near Greenwood Ave., shortly before the noon-hour last Monday, Toronto Police say. The slaying is the city’s eighth murder of 2010.

Charges against the five teens who all live in the Gerrard and Greenwood area — Xiao-Ming Chen, Peng Ren, Zhong-Rong Zheng and Zhao-Hui Chen, all of whom are 18, and a 17-year-old boy — have since been upgraded to second-degree murder, Browne said.
How messed-up do you have to be... to beat a man to death?
