New York gay masseur murder nets teen Jose Tavares
Jose Tavares, 17, has been charged in the slaying of Schlomy Rejwan, a gay masseur in New York City. According to law enforcement Tavares "definitely played a role" - but the suspects family insists the killing was carried out by a mystery man and that the Manhattan Bridge High School junior went there seeking a massage having answered an advertisement in the back of an alternative newspaper and that a mystery man sexually assaulted Tavares and later killed Rejwan as the teen watched. Tavares has been charged with second-degree murder and first-degree arson. Authorities say he left Rejwan with his pants pulled down and set fire to the third-floor apartment to mask the murder having bound Rejwan's hands and feet with black wire.
