House Connected To Matt Landry Being Demolished
It's long been an eyesore -- and a painful reminder of a horrible crime. But this week, the house where Matthew Landry's body was found is, at last, being torn down by the city of Detroit.
The city deemed the house, at 14711 Maddelein on the east side, an eyesore and a "dangerous structure" last April, but it couldn't be demolished because it was still evidence in the trial of Ihab Maslamani.
Last Friday, a Macomb County jury convicted Maslamani of 18 counts, including killing the 21 year-old Landry in the abandoned house in August, 2009. The house comes down at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the trial of the second suspect, Detroit teenager Robert Taylor, has been pushed back. It was due to get underway in Macomb County Circuit Court on October 26th, but has been rescheduled to December 1st.
