Neven Glen Butler has been arrested over the sexual assault and beating death of an 86-year-old California woman. The elder was attacked as she tried to help a friend during a morning walk, officials say.
Butler, 18, was taken into custody after being detained on unrelated assault and elder abuse charges. That attack happened only a few miles away from the current senior’s beating death. Butler is being held on suspicion of murder, without bail. He is set to be arraigned in Sacramento Superior Court on Monday.
Homicide detectives tied Butler to the scene of the sexual assaults of 86-year-old Fusako Petrus and a 61-year-old friend earlier that same day, Turnbull said. Petrus died after she was badly beaten, while her younger friend was treated at the scene for injuries. Petrus was killed after she tried to help her friend, who was the initial target of the attack, Turnbull said. She hit the attacker with her walking stick to try to fend off the man. She was walking ahead of her friend on the running track of Highlands High School north of Sacramento when the suspect attacked the younger woman about 6 a.m., Turnbull said. h/t bradenton
Butler was arrested that afternoon several miles away when he assaulted a 92-year-old woman, Turnbull said Friday. She was treated at a hospital for facial injuries, Turnbull said.

Fast trial, short rope.
And if the fancy lawyer gets him off, I hope he comes after her.
FYU, this is why all women need to carry a firearm. There were two women there, one of them could have blown this POS's head off.
