NEW YORK — A New York City man faces charges that he slaughtered his girlfriend and her two young children in a frenzy at their Brooklyn home.
Jermaine Ruiz was charged Saturday with three counts of murder. The 24-year-old had been in custody since Friday.
Investigators say they think the killings happened Wednesday night, when neighbors overheard the couple fighting. Police say Ruiz spent a day in the apartment with the three corpses and then phoned his father and told him what he had done.
