Cain and Abel fight to death shocks New York crowd
In a Brooklyn street drama Sunday two half brothers fought to the death with ice picks before their mother and a stunned Easter crowd. Amiello Russo 43, AFL plastics union vice president, was slain. Steve Omand 39 stood over the body amid a bloody ice pick. Rontano and his father John 63 were arrested on homicide charges. Police say the feud stemmed from a long-standing quarrel between families. In Houston a former Dallas policeman, Walter W Wheeler 58, shot and killed Richard E Thompson 25 who was cutting a window screen after Wheeler found him at his home. The death was ruled justifiable homicide.
