Lethbridge Murder: Five Charged in Planned Hit

0:00Police in left bridge just dropped a major update on a deadly assault-turned murder. Five locals now face first-degree murder charges for killing a 27-year-old man last month. It all went down around 6.30 a.m. on March 27 in an apartment on the 200 block of 7A Avenue South. Cops responded to an assault call and found the guy unresponsive with a 22-year-old woman there. Over the hours before, multiple people showed up, held him against his will, beat him down, and choked him until he couldn't take it anymore. This wasn't random evidence points to a straight-up plan hit where all five jumped in. They ranged from a 22-year-old woman to guys in their 40s, all left-bridge residents grabbed over the past few weeks, a rest kicked off March 28 with two men, then another two days later, one on April 2nd, and the woman turned herself in April 8th. Every one of them is locked up tight on that single first-degree count. Court dates are lining up quicksum as soon as today and tomorrow, others by late April and early May.
