[QUOTE]The brother of a Cambridge man who was stabbed to death seven years ago by a Harvard University student was charged yesterday with trying to decapitate a Harvard researcher and raping his 11-year-old son during a brutal August home invasion.
Marcos Colono, 32, was also named as a suspect in the rape of two women in a 2008 home invasion, prosecutors said.
The 53-year-old father who was attacked in the August home invasion was forced to witness his child’s abuse and then was hacked 11 times with a butcher knife - eight times in his neck - as he and his boy fought back, prosecutor Katharine Folger said.
Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone Jr. said the “horrific” bloodbath left “an entire community in fear.”
In a joint press conference with Boston police and prosecutors, Cambridge authorities said Colono was looking for money and they have no reason to believe he knew the father works at Harvard or that the crime was linked to his brother’s 2003 stabbing death by a Harvard student.
Colono, a construction worker with a 15-year-old son, was named a suspect yesterday in an unsolved 2008 home invasion in Brighton in which two female college students were raped, authorities said.
“We expect to charge him in the near future,” said Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley.
Prosecutors said they tied Colono to the Cambridge home invasion through a bloody partial handprint found at the scene and a fingerprint Boston police have had on file from a 1998 pot bust.
They said police matched DNA recovered from the Cambridge and Brighton crime scenes but do not have a DNA sample from Colono yet to compare it to because he has no felony convictions. In both cases, victims were “stacked” on top of each other before they were assaulted, prosecutors said.
As his anguished mother Ada Colono looked on, Marcos Colono pleaded not guilty to home invasion, armed assault with intent to kill and aggravated rape of a child. He was ordered held on $1 million cash bail by Judge Roanne Sragow.
Defense attorney Ben Selman called Colono’s bail “excessive.”
In a nationally polarizing tragedy that pitted haves against have-nots, Colono’s brother Michael, an 18-year-old cook, was stabbed through the heart April 12, 2003, in Cambridge during a chance encounter that led to a fight with Alexander Pring-Wilson, a well-to-do master’s student at Harvard’s Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.
Pring-Wilson, 32, pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter in January 2008, after his initial murder conviction was tossed out by the state Supreme Judicial Court, which ruled a defendant claiming to have killed in self-defense could dredge up a victim’s criminal history. At the time, Colono angrily slammed Pring-Wilson’s second chance as an “insult to justice.” Pring-Wilson was freed Dec. 31, 2008.

The bail's not very excessive considering what he did.
I'm sorry, but I honestly hope that the person responsible for this is brutally raped in prison so hard that his anus will be wider than the world's largest tunnel.

But you agree with him right?
Maybe if the father had had a gun...

Hi I'm ZekeTwo I think the world is all puppies and butterflies, and that all sadistic criminals can be rehabilitated. People should not be punished for their crimes and you are a child for experiencing anger towards a savage.

You know that this happened because of revenge in the first place? If his brother wasn't killed, none of this would happen.
And now you offer to torture him? Great fucking logic
University rivalries :rolleyes:

He got revenge for a stabbing death by pedophiliac rape and decapitation of someone who is probably not even involved with said death. Great fucking logic to say that he doesn't deserve some retribution for this.
Death penalty por favor.

Exactly my point, this guy obviously has something wrong with him, instead of trying to rehabilitate him you want him to die? He has a family you know.
Law Abiding Citizen.
He tried to decapitate an innocent man and then rape his 11 year old son? What the fuck? Death penalty should be used, indeed.

I'm sorry, but that's not really eye for a leg. He raped someone, he deserves the same punishment if not more.

What the hell, why is this other guy's avatar next to my po-
oh you silly trickster you
Here's the thing bro: punishment solves nothing. There are two things you do with sadistic criminals -
1) Rehabilitate them and then reintegrate them with society when they have paid their dues to their victim if applicable
if that doesn't work, 2) Keep them isolated from society so they can't hurt anyone else
Vengeance is childish and the fact that in the 21st century you have the nerve to call a fellow human being a savage, regardless of their actions, shows just how uneducated you really are.
My model of a justice system is what is employed in countries like Norway and look at how crime-free their society is. You conservatives and your TOUGH ON CRIME policies are destroying the western world and you should feel bad for attempting to propagate them.
Your turn

I guess if this were [I]A Clockwork Orange[/I] you'd be the scientist who invents the rehabilitation process they use on the protagonist.
Why would you do such a horrible thing for a little money? It always adds an extra layer of lack of understanding when its about some money.
Although it should be obvious that this did not have much to do with the actual money. If you do this, and are after the money there is no point in abusing a child. Or murdering the father. Or making it as horrible as trying to chop off the head several times, even though it should be clear its not working before trying 11 times. (Getting rid of the witness makes no sense because apparently he only tried to kill the father.)
