Michael Sandy Update: Killer Took a Nap After Brutal Gay Bashing
How else to unwind after a gruesome gay bashing? In the tragic case of Michael Sandy ... the ringleader took a power nap.
"Me and Anthony got to the house first," 19 year-old John Fox, seen here, reportedly told detectives, referring to co-defendant Anthony Fortunato. "Than [sic] Alex came in after. We layed [sic] on the bed—couch and fell asleep. He said he thought he killed someone before he fell asleep."
Alex, aka Ilya Shurov, the 20 year-old power napper who "thought he killed someone", is said to be the one who lured the 29 year-old interior designer to remote Plum Beach off Brooklyn's Belt Parkway, beat him, and chased him to his death on the highway. Four men participated in the plot; three face murder charges, the fourth is cooperating with detectives. The driver of the car that fatally struck Michael Sandy has not been located.

They are sick in the head, but still deserve the whole weight of the law thrown at them.

The damage is done now, the law should make an example of them, they should not be released till they're old and incapable of ever doing violence again.
