80-year-old New York man arrested on charges he killed 2 young women in Virginia Beach in 1973
An 80-year-old #NY man has been arrested on charges that he killed two young women in a beach cottage nearly half a century ago in Virginia, police said Tuesday. Ernest Broadnax was arrested in #NYC on Monday and faces two counts of second-degree murder and one count of rape in #VirginiaBeach. The slayings occurred in the summer of 1973.
Virginia Beach police did not say how they linked Broadnax to the killings. They said their cold-case unit began to pursue a “strong lead” last year and sought out “advanced forensic technology.” Broadnax, who lives in #Queens borough, is waiting to go through extradition in New York, police said. It’s unclear if he has an attorney. For decades, the case haunted the coastal city in Virginia and the officers who launched the investigation.
