Murder

Attorney General Richard Thornburgh has approved a request made 
by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida to 
seek indictments against D.B. and F.W. for the 
murder of B.M.  The attorney general also gave his 
approval to efforts to seek the death penalty.  Rangers will be 
working on this case closely with U.S. attorneys, FBI agents and 
local law enforcement officers.  Plans are to present the case 
to a federal grand jury within the next two to three weeks.
