More Charges Coming Against Serial Stabbings Suspect
More charges will be announced Thursday against a man already accused of murder and attempted murder in a series of stabbings that killed five men in the Flint area.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton has scheduled a news conference in Flint at 10:30 a.m. EDT. His spokesman John Potbury says he can't discuss the new charges before then.
Elias Abuelazam already faces one case of murder and five counts of attempted murder in Genesee County. He's also charged with attempted murder in Toledo, Ohio.
Authorities suspect him in a string of attacks in Michigan, Ohio and Leesburg, Va.
A message seeking comment was left for his lawyer. Abuelazam was arrested in Atlanta in August while trying to fly to Israel.
