State seeks death penalty against suspects in killing of FSU grad student
The three prison escapees charged in the April death of Florida State University graduate student Vincent Binder will face the death penalty, the State Attorney's Office announced today.
Police said that Peter Marcus Hughes, 22, Kentrell F. Johnson, 39, and Quentin M. Truehill, 23, escaped from a jail in Avoyelles Parish, La., after holding a makeshift knife to a guard's throat and eluding police dogs. They were captured in Miami on April 12.
Binder, 29, was reported missing on April 8. His body was found in an open field near Interstate 96 and Florida 16 on April 28.
All three men were indicted May 10 by a grand jury in St. Johns County on charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping to facilitate a felony, spokesman Chris Kelly of the State Attorney's Office said.
